TillBilly, a blockchain powered “tap and go” point of sale terminal, today announced it will commence an Initial Coin Offering (ICO). The company hopes to bring blockchain to the mainstream, enhancing the lives of the shoppers by making the retail experience easier, quicker and more transparent.
The ICO will see three rounds – a private, public-presale and public sale. In total, some 186,000,000 tokens will be available which will allow for 100,000 terminals to be installed and activated with the TillBilly payment and digital receipt network.
TillBilly works to make shopping a seamless experience for both consumers and businesses by integrating contactless payments, digital receipts and reward points into a single blockchain powered Point of Sale system. Merchants are provided with a point of sale machine, with which shoppers can pay for everyday goods using cards loaded with their cash or TillBilly’s very own cryptocurrency, BILL. Transaction history, receipts, and loyalty points can be accessed via the TillBilly app.
TillBilly’s key benefits for shoppers and merchants using the system are that it offers price protection against cryptocurrency market volatility and has a convenient loyalty management system that does not require users to carry dozens of loyalty cards or scan them during checkout.
Both shoppers and merchants win as shoppers always pay less than the price tag as TillBilly allows a portion of the transaction fee to be shared with the shopper. And merchants pay 50-80% less fee than current card transactions. TillBilly also aims to make paper receipts a thing of the past, as all the information from the transaction is sent to the user’s phone in a single digital receipt. This is beneficial as retailers spend a fortune on paper receipts every year, while buyers can help the environment and rid their wallets and purses of needless papers.
