New handheld payments and ordering device combines full POS functionality, payment acceptance, and business management tools in one powerful, standalone solution for American entrepreneurs.

BOULDER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / November 20, 2025 / SumUp, the financial technology company dedicated to empowering small merchants, today announces the U.S. launch of its new SumUp Terminal, an all-in-one, handheld device that brings together full Point of Sale (POS) functionality, fast payment acceptance, and essential business management tools in a sleek, mobile device.

Built for day-to-day realities of running a small business, the Terminal removes the need for bulky setups or a connected smartphone. It operates independently with Wi-Fi or its built-in cellular connection (eSIM card included), a key differentiator that ensures reliable, on-the-go functionality wherever business happens.

The SumUp Terminal runs the powerful SumUp SuperApp, giving entrepreneurs access to everything they need to run their business:

• Accept Payments Anywhere: Process tap, dip, or swipe transactions with affordable and transparent pricing at 2.6% + 10¢ for all card-present payments. The device features long-lasting battery life for full-day operation and reliable connectivity with built-in 4G and Wi-Fi backup.

• Streamline Operations: The intuitive touchscreen and larger display enable complex features like table management, easy item catalog management, and seamless order taking-all from the palm of your hand. It also includes an integrated receipt printer for instant printed receipts.

• Manage Your Business: Use the device as a comprehensive business hub to manage item catalogs, track sales and inventory in real-time, generate detailed reports for simplified bookkeeping, and create staff profiles with customized access levels.

• Durable and Secure: Built with durability in mind, the Terminal features Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5 for extra protection, a barcode scanner, and AI-powered image recognition to quickly snap, scan, and add products.

“Small businesses need tools that are dependable, flexible and simple to use,” said Andrew Helms, CEO of SumUp USA. “The U.S. market demands solutions that offer both professional-grade power and the utmost flexibility, without the prohibitive cost and complexity of legacy systems. The SumUp Terminal brings payment acceptance and key business features together in a single device, making it easier for merchants to stay organized and serve customers wherever they are.”

SumUp is offering a 10% discount on the Terminal until November 23, 2025. This will be followed by a Black Friday/Cyber Monday promotion offering 25% off all readers from November 24, 2025, to December 1, 2025. For more information, click here.

The Exclusive Technology Partnership Will Streamline POS, Kiosks, Mobile Ordering and Loyalty Programs Across More Than 400 Stores

BOULDER, COLORADO / ACCESS Newswire / November 4, 2025 / SumUp, the global financial technology company serving more than four million merchants worldwide, today announced an exclusive partnership with Gong cha, the world’s leading bubble tea brand. Through this collaboration, SumUp will serve as Gong cha’s exclusive innovation and technology partner, delivering an integrated platform to support end-to-end sales and customer experiences across more than 400 stores in the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, and Latin America.

Gong cha sought a partner capable of providing a modern unified commerce platform capable of streamlining operations and delivering a uniform customer experience across all stores spanning multiple countries. After an 18-month pilot process involving several technology providers, Gong cha selected SumUp for its ability to go beyond payments and deliver best-in-class digital experiences that connect self-ordering kiosks and online platforms into a single system integrated with Gong cha’s POS and loyalty programs.

SumUp also developed an integration for Gong cha’s proprietary Super Wu robotic beverage technology, and the companies co-developed a guest feedback tool connected to Gong cha’s loyalty program – an innovation that increased customer survey participation by more than 15 times within days of launch.

Since SumUp provides Gong cha’s entire product ecosystem through a single platform, rather than through multiple disconnected vendors, the brand now benefits from centralized analytics and data insights across all stores and channels.

“Gong cha has become a cultural icon with a rapidly expanding global footprint,” said Andrew Helms, CEO of SumUp U.S. “With our presence in more than 35 markets and over four million merchants globally, we have the scale and experience to help support that journey.”

“As Gong cha continues to expand across North America and new international markets, having the right technology partner is critical to delivering a seamless experience for our merchants and their customers,” said Geoff Henry, President of Gong cha Americas. “SumUp’s platform unifies digital ordering, payments, and loyalty across hundreds of stores, making it easier to scale while maintaining the quality and service Gong cha is known for.”

Supporting Modern Growth for a Global Brand

Since launching in 2006, Gong cha has grown to nearly 2,200 locations in 30 international markets – and more than 240 stores in the U.S. across 23 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. The brand has recently accelerated its expansion in the Americas, opening new locations in Seattle, Nashville, Milwaukee, Maine and the Caribbean, and entering markets across Ecuador and Colombia.

For SumUp, the partnership represents a strategic opportunity to bring its global growth strategy to a well-established and continually expanding brand. Beyond the Americas, SumUp and Gong cha are also collaborating in the U.K. and Ireland, extending the same digital innovation and unified operational model to new markets.

Global fintech strengthens its presence in the Americas with launch aimed at empowering Mexico’s 4.5M+ small businesses

BOULDER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / October 21, 2025 / Global fintech SumUp today announced it has officially launched in Mexico, marking a significant milestone in its expansion across the Americas. SumUp is introducing its proven suite of digital payment and business tools to one of Latin America’s most dynamic small business markets, taking the next step in its mission to make commerce simple and accessible for all.

According to the World Bank and OECD, Mexico is home to almost 4.5 million small and medium businesses (SMBs), of which 94% are considered micro-businesses. These merchants are at the heart of Mexico’s economy – and precisely the types of businesses SumUp was founded to empower, making it effortless for small businesses to accept payments and thrive, wherever they are.

As part of the launch, SumUp has introduced the SumUp Go card reader to the Mexican market. A compact, user-friendly device, the Go card reader allows merchants to accept payments anytime, anywhere, with no monthly fixed costs. It’s compatible with all major credit and debit cards, with remarkable battery life and unlimited 4G cellular connectivity thanks to its built-in SIM. The Go is designed for durability and comes equipped with advanced security features, to deliver safe and compliant transactions.

“Expanding into Mexico marks a pivotal step in SumUp’s strategic growth across Latin America,” said Andrew Helms, CEO of SumUp North America. “We see remarkable potential in the region and recognize a strong demand for accessible, user-friendly payment solutions that streamline business operations. At SumUp, our mission is to simplify business for our merchants and we’re delighted to bring this commitment to Mexico.”

Mexico remains a largely cash-led economy, with just over a quarter of transactions conducted by card. Limited bank account penetration and low NFC adoption have historically slowed digital payments. However, recent trends show a growing preference for debit cards, signalling a shift towards cashless transactions, indicating this will increase in the next few years.

SumUp’s product development is built around merchant feedback. The company continuously evolves its ecosystem to meet the specific needs of each market. In Mexico, merchants will gain access to a growing suite of payment and financial tools designed to help them operate more efficiently and compete in an increasingly digital economy.
