Mastercard rolls out 'Tap on Phone' that allows a customer contactless card to tap and pay via a phone (no hardware terminal required)
news.movim.eu / gadgeteerza-tech-blog • 25 January 2022
This cuts out the existing separate hardware terminal that has until now been issued to merchants. This system requires only a phone with NFC (and of course the Mastercard merchant app).
Tap on Phone allows businesses to accept payments from any contactless card or mobile wallet right from their NFC-enabled device. With no extra hardware required, businesses can take advantage of this on-the-go solution to enable quick and convenient payment options. There is an option to send a receipt to customers through SMS or email.
