NatWest is going to release “Tap to Pay” for Android, which will let companies take payments by touching a card on their smart phone.
Tap to Pay is easy to set up and doesn’t need any extra hardware. This makes it useful for seasonal sellers, small merchants, and bigger businesses that want a cheap way to let more people take payments without having to buy a lot of payment terminals.
As part of the initial rollout, a small group of Tyl by NatWest retailers will be able to use Tap to Pay on Android. This will be followed by a full launch later this year.
Mike Elliff, CEO of Tyl by NatWest, says: “We understand that business owners are always looking for ways to streamline their operations, boost sales and connect with their customers regardless of location. This new product enables us to meet their needs and put contactless payments into the pockets of countless businesses, optimising the payment experience for all.”
