Banco Sabadell card reader review 2026: tap to pay fees and rating
A SoftPOS offering from one of Spain's largest banks, sold through the branch network and built into sector packages for taxi and transport. Legally it is not a bank product in the narrow sense: by the bank's own legal notice the terminals are products of PAYCOMET, the group's own payment institution, with the bank acting as distributor. Not to be confused with the older TPV Móvil Sabadell, a Redsys mPOS solution with a separate card reader.
