NTT DATA Launches Voice-Enabled ADAPTIS Soundbox to Accelerate Cashless Payments in Southeast Asia

NTT DATA Payment Services has launched the ADAPTIS Soundbox across Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand—a compact, voice-enabled payment device designed to simplify and speed up transactions for SMEs and retailers. With real-time audible alerts and multi-payment support, the Soundbox aims to enhance customer experience during peak business hours.


MALAYSIA, 31 JULY 2025 – NTT DATA Payment Services today introduced the ADAPTIS Soundbox, a compact, voice-enabled payment device designed to streamline digital transactions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), retailers, and F&B outlets across Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. This marks the first regional rollout of its kind in Southeast Asia.

Engineered for high-volume retail environments, the ADAPTIS Soundbox allows merchants to accept payments via QR codes, contactless cards, and e-Wallets—providing fast and reliable confirmation through audible voice alerts. This eliminates the need for merchants to check screens or printed receipts, particularly during peak hours, helping ensure secure, error-free transactions.

“The ADAPTIS Soundbox reflects our commitment to supporting growing businesses with practical, efficient tools,” said Frances Choo, Group Head Product & Partnerships at NTT DATA Payment Services. “From fast checkouts to paperless receipts, we aim to empower merchants to operate with greater speed and visibility.”

The device is plug-and-play, requiring no technical setup, and is offered with no rental fees, no minimum transaction commitments, and a one-time introductory price. In Malaysia, delivery is guaranteed within one working day of registration.

In addition to a QR-based e-Receipt feature that supports environmental sustainability, the Soundbox includes a real-time online dashboard for easy tracking and reconciliation of transactions.

Key features of the ADAPTIS Soundbox include:

  • Acceptance of QR, contactless card, and e-Wallet payments
  • Real-time voice alerts for every successful transaction
  • QR code e-Receipt to reduce paper usage
  • Online dashboard for transaction monitoring
  • Durable, compact design ideal for busy retail settings

The Soundbox is part of the broader ADAPTIS In-Store suite, which includes vending payment solutions, smart POS terminals, and integrated hardware-software systems for banks and merchants.

The ADAPTIS Soundbox is now available through NTT DATA Payment Services in Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand.
