Global Payments and Visa launch mobile tap payment solution in SG

Sellers will facilitate payments easily using smartphones.

Global Payments worked with Visa to roll out its mobile tap payment solution in Singapore, which allows sellers to facilitate payments easily using smartphones sans additional hardware investment.

Global Payments’ Mobile Tap solution, which uses Visa’s Tap to Phone (TTP) technology, allows merchants with Android devices equipped with Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to accept contactless payments simply by downloading a dedicated app. 

“This innovative approach eliminates the need for traditional point-of-sale (POS) terminals and can help facilitate a better consumer payment experience,” read the statement.

Amongst the advantages of the new mobile tap is to empower small medium enterprises with the option of digital payments acceptance at a lower cost.

“Mobile Tap provides merchants and customers with increased convenience and flexibility in conducting transactions,” read the statement.
