- Regulatory
- Toast is not a payment card processor; it operates as a payment facilitator partnering with processors, which is why card processing cannot be unbundled from the POS agreement. Toast, Inc. is a US public company headquartered in Boston and publishes a money-transmission/payments licence disclosure page at pos.toasttab.com/tps-licenses, though the licence list and merchant agreement text were not retrieved in this session, so no licence-by-state claims are made. Toast Easy Pay is a US-only lease product under a separate lease agreement; a product lifetime policy and system status page are published in the site footer.
