Westpac has introduced Apple’s Top to Pay on iPhone for contactless payments.
The Australian bank said the move would give business customers an “easy and secure” payment option to accept in-person contactless payments via its EFTPOS Air iOS app.
At checkout, merchants can prompt the customer to hold their contactless payment near the merchant’s iPhone, and the payment will be completed using NFC technology.
Tap to Pay on iPhone accepts Apple Pay, contactless credit and debit cards and other digital wallets. It also supports PIN entry, which includes accessibility options.
“Our business customers can be onboarded and start accepting quick and secure payments on-the-go within minutes, using only an iPhone and the Westpac EFTPOS Air iOS app,” said Chris de Burin, Westpac chief executive, consumer and business banking. “This new capability is particularly beneficial for any business that takes payments on the road or needs their staff to be more mobile on the shop floor.
He added: “It’s a game changer for tradies, delivery drivers and businesses like hairdressers, mechanics or florists, and many more.”
