As a well-known payment brand in China, Lakala has always had a high reputation and user base in the market. However, it was recently revealed that Lakala will adjust the rate of its POS machines to 165,000 for older machines. This news is undoubtedly an important concern for merchants and users who use Lakala POS machines.
It is understood that the reason for this rate adjustment is mainly due to the intensification of competition in the payment market in recent years, and Lakala has to make this adjustment in order to maintain its market position and profitability. In addition, Lakala also said that due to the rising costs in the payment industry, including card processing fees, equipment maintenance fees, etc., the company needs to increase the rate to cover these costs.
Regarding the specifics of this rate adjustment, Lakala said that the rate will be adjusted for old machines that are more than 3 years old, and the adjusted rate will be 165. And for users of new machines, the rates have not changed. This adjustment is undoubtedly a big burden for users who use old machines, so many merchants and users are considering whether they need to replace POS machines of other brands.
However, there are also some merchants who understand this adjustment. A merchant who uses a Lakala POS machine said: "Although the adjusted rate is relatively high, we can understand it considering the cost and risk of the payment industry. He also said that for some merchants who need a large number of card transactions, payment fees are unavoidable, so it is more important to choose a stable payment brand.
In addition, for this adjustment, Lakala also said that it will strengthen the publicity and explanation of merchants, so that merchants can better understand the current situation of the payment industry and the company's operation. At the same time, the company will also strengthen communication with merchants and listen to their opinions and suggestions to better meet the needs of merchants and improve service quality.
In short, although Lakala's rate adjustment has brought a certain burden to some merchants and users, in the long run, it is also an inevitable trend in the development of the payment industry. For merchants and users, it is more important to choose a POS machine with a stable payment brand and service***.
