With Tap To Pay on iPhone, merchants can accept payments with contactless cards and mobile payments, including Apple Pay and other digital wallets, using only an iPhone and the Smartphone TPV app.
CaixaBank has become the first financial institution in Spain that allows its business customers to operate easily with their iPhone.
Improved purchasing experience
With Tap to Pay on iPhone, at checkout, merchants will simply prompt the customer to hold their contactless payment method near the merchant's iPhone, and the payment will be securely completed using NFC technology.
Tap to Pay on iPhone uses built-in security and privacy features to help protect your business and customer data. Apple doesn't store card numbers or transaction information on Apple servers, so merchants and customers can rest assured that their data stays theirs. *
Merchants can unlock contactless payment acceptance within minutes through the TPV Smartphone iOS app on an iPhone XS or later, running the latest version of iOS.
Thanks to the support of global payment networks such as Visa and Mastercard, businesses can rely on a robust experience, with high security standards and universal acceptance, contributing to improving the experience of both the customer and the business offering the service.
It is an ideal application for businesses that require mobility and flexibility, such as professionals who travel to their homes to carry out work, restaurants, shops that distribute goods, large establishments, among others.
