Get a POS (point-of-sale) terminal.

If you are a small or medium-sized business in Albania that works in the food, hotel, bar, restaurant, or taxi industry and has never had a POS terminal before, you can apply for the POS program through participating banks starting May 1, 2025. You will get a free POS terminal for a year and won’t have to pay any fees for card transactions up to a certain amount per year for your industry.

Mastercard Digital Payments Acceptance Acceleration Program

POSI Mastercard’s Digital Payments Acceleration Program in Albania, in support of businesses, aims to expand the electronic
payments acceptance network in the country by distributing up to 4,750 POS devices.

POSI is for businesses in the following sectors: Grocery Stores, Hotels, Restaurants & Cafes, and Taxis. Merchants who have not previously had POS equipment. Merchants with physical stores.

Free POS equipment for 12 months. 0% commission on all card transactions,
up to the annual limit determined by sector:

€19,000 for Grocery Stores
€24,000 for Hotels
€15,000 for Restaurants & Cafes
€2,000 for Taxi

The program begins on May 1, 2025, and will end either after the distribution of 4,750 new POS terminals or on April 30, 2026, whichever happens first.

Each merchant can only sign an agreement with one beneficiary bank. They can only receive one free POS device (each different MCC is counted as a separate merchant).
To remain active, each POS device must complete at least four Mastercard transactions each quarter.

Merchants can exit the POSI program and return the POS device at any time during the 12-month period, without any cost or penalty. After this period ends, they can return the device without penalty or switch to the pre-defined commercial terms with the beneficiary bank.
