Poynt, a point-of-sale competitor to Square and Clover, announced today $28 million in new funding, as well as PCI PTS certification for both hardware and software, to protect cardholders.

Palo Alto-based Poynt was founded by Osama Bedier, formerly of PayPal and onetime head of Google Wallet. Below is the video from the company’s launch one year ago.
