ToneTag’s Retail Pod 2.0 targets regional inclusion through voice payments

ToneTag, the leading provider of voice-based commerce and payments solutions in India, has partnered with major financial institutions, such as NPCI, SBI, IDFC First Bank, ICICI Bank, and others, to facilitate the acceptance of all UPI payments. Additionally, the company has recently introduced the RBI-supported CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) on its latest device, RetailPod 2.0.
RetailPod 2.0 is a payment acceptance and interaction device that offers a proprietary solution to enhance the retail ecosystem. It is capable of accepting all types of payments, including UPI payments with interoperable QR codes, voice-based UPI 123 payments, card or wallet payments, and E-rupee. The device provides instant audio and visual confirmation of payment acceptance, making it simple for merchants to monitor their transactions and prevent fraudulent activity.
Kumar Abhishek, the founder and CEO of ToneTag, emphasized the importance of having systems in place for all types of currency transactions, including the recent launch of CBDC, to achieve complete implementation of digital payments. He also stated that RetailPod 2.0, as an affordable digital payment solution, can process all digital and voice payments.
