Today, millions of small and micro-businesses worldwide are struggling with the burdens of traditional payment acceptance. Tap to Phone makes it easier for sellers to use the smartphones they already own to accept payments—simply by downloading an app.
Sellers around the world can now accept payments using current-generation Android devices—while limiting physical contact at the point of sale. Customers win too, as they can make safe, contactless payments with just a tap of their contactless card, phone, or watch to the seller’s NFC-enabled smartphone.
