The Bold Merchant app is primarily aimed at all BetKing agents and it allows them to carry out collections anywhere in Nigeria via the Bold Mobile App, Bold Collections App (POS), and Bold Merchant Portal.

The Bold Merchant app wallet offers the following functions:

• Wallet-to-Wallet Transfers: Merchants can transfer funds to Bold individual  app users and between merchants as well.
  • Merchant to Merchant transfers
  • Merchant to Individual transfers
• Accept POS Payments: Merchants can accept POS payments from users.
  
• Confirm Betslips: Merchants can confirm betslips for Bold Individual users using their Merchant app.

The POS Terminal in the Bold Merchant app consists of two apps:

1. Kele Collections App: This app is specifically for collections and shares the same login information, wallet, and virtual account number with the Bold Mobile  App and Bold Merchant Portal. All transactions are synced between these apps, so you only need 1 secure login account to access all three apps.
2. Agency Banking App: This feature is for all agency banking activities and shares the same login information as the Bold Collections App. However, the app functions, wallet, wallet history, virtual account number, and transaction history are different.
