“Many UK businesses today are using outdated keypad card terminals that come with unfair fees and long-term contracts,” said Jesse Dorogusker, head of hardware at Square. “Designed to feel familiar but new, Square Terminal offers a modern solution with dynamic software, so businesses can do more than just take payments. Square Terminal is for sellers, often larger, who need a portable, all-in-one payment terminal that staff can use for point of sale, taking payments and receipts.”

Unlike existing terminals, Square Terminal is built on modern software and handles all updates automatically so features can be added as seller needs evolve.
