Payments Giant NCR to Integrate Bitcoin into Small Business Service

Global payments conglomerate NCR has announced that one of its merchant point-of-sale (POS) systems will soon offer bitcoin support.
The integration of bitcoin into the NCR Silver POS is expected to happen sometime before the end of this year. The system will also support mobile bitcoin wallet payments and will be a free service attached to its POS platform.
NCR is one of the world’s largest payments companies. Founded in 1884 as a cash register maker, NCR offers a number of hardware and software solutions and reported more than $6bn in revenue in 2013.
In recent years, NCR has moved to take a broader share of the mobile payments space through strategic partnerships. Citing the evolving nature of digital payments, NCR indicated that it wanted to provide a greater degree of flexibility to its customers, which includes supporting technologies like bitcoin.
