Future Plans
“Pundi X will spend the next two years building an extensive coverage of convenience stores, shopping malls, retail
shops, chain outlets, cafe, restaurants and other outlets. It will use Pundi apps to cover an even greater number of
smaller sellers. In addition, it would like to expand into Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan and other regional
markets simultaneously, and cover South East Asia within three years. Pundi X is also planning to bring XPOS Handy
and XPOS Desk with some add-on features.” 13
