NATWEST partnered with Akru to launch integrated POS and payment solutions for UK hospitality
NATWEST’s TYL announced a new strategic partnership with Akru, a cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) platform powered by Zonal, to provide fully integrated payment and POS solutions for UK hotel venues.
Under the agreement, Natwest’s Tyl becomes Akru’s preferred payment partner, combining its secure, reliable payment processing with Akru’s smart POS technology. The move aims to provide a seamless end-to-end system for independent restaurants, cafes, bars, bars and small hotel chains to manage transactions and operations.
The integrated platform will allow the site to be synchronized directly with its POS system, reducing errors and improving security, while also simplifying sales, inventory management and real-time business reporting.
James Hodgson, CEO of TYL at NATWEST, said the partnership reflects the company’s commitment to supporting small businesses: “We are delighted to be Akru’s preferred payment partner and bring our technology into a comprehensive venue of service to provide you with a partnership. This partner directly provides you with a reliable paid tool to provide an excellent paid tool for a great paid tool.
Steve Roberts, managing director of Akru, added: “By integrating secure, efficient payments into our cloud POS, we are able to provide an easy-to-use end-to-end solution for the hospitality business across the UK, but powerful enough to support its growth and ambitions.”
The partnership allows NatWest’s Tyl to expand its footprint in the hospitality industry while allowing Akru to strengthen its platform through its major payment partners. The two companies said the collaboration will provide the UK hotel business with easy-to-adoption but feature-rich technology that helps venues improve efficiency and provide a better customer experience.
