Tap to Pay on iPhone is now available for SumUp customers in the UK and Netherlands. Using Tap to Pay on iPhone, SumUp merchants can now seamlessly and securely accept all forms of contactless payments, including Apple Pay, contactless credit and debit cards and other digital wallets, using only an iPhone and the free SumUp iOS app, with no additional hardware needed.
The availability for SumUp customers means that merchants – even the smallest, or most recently launched ventures – can accept contactless payments anywhere, as long as they have a compatible iPhone and the SumUp iOS app. Tap to Pay on iPhone is an ideal steppingstone for nano merchants as they look to scale their business and consider payment solutions, alongside other business tools. The service is therefore an important step in democratising digital payments, something which SumUp has pioneered and led for over a decade.
Giovanni Barbieri, SumUp Senior Strategic Growth Manager, said: “SumUp is pleased to announce the availability of Tap to Pay on iPhone. Our mission is to make business simple for our merchants and this roll-out is an extension of our existing work supporting SMEs and merchants of all sizes to get paid. Importantly, Tap to Pay on iPhone is easy, secure and private; protecting both sides of the transaction. I am especially pleased with the exceptional functionality of the product and the fact it lowers barriers to entry, with the potential to fuel entrepreneurship.”
