European paytech company Nexi has introduced Tap to Pay on iPhone in Switzerland and Finland, allowing merchants to accept in-person contactless payments seamlessly and securely.
This follows similar rollouts in Italy, Germany, Austria, and Sweden last year.
Tap to Pay on iPhone enables merchants to accept all forms of contactless payments—including contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets – using only an iPhone and Nexi’s SoftPOS functionality in the MyPayments app.
This eliminates the need for additional hardware or payment terminals.
Suvi Ruoppa, Country General Manager of Nets Finland, part of Nexi Group, commented:
“The activation of Nexi SoftPOS on iPhone in Finland and Switzerland enables more merchants to offer customers enhanced flexibility and choice at the point of sale. This creates an easier and more convenient shopping experience for consumers, creating additional revenue opportunities for businesses of all sizes.”
David Gebhardt, Country General Manager of Nexi Switzerland, added:
“With Nexi SoftPOS on iPhone, we are providing a simple and cost-effective payment solution for small businesses in Switzerland – especially for those who have not accepted card payments before.”
“This is particularly beneficial for merchants such as takeaways, taxis, and independent service providers, where mobility and ease of use is key. By eliminating the need for additional hardware, we are making it easier than ever for merchants to accept contactless payments.”
Nexi’s SoftPOS solution offers an affordable, straightforward, and secure way to accept digital payments, unrestricted by the location of the cash register.
It also enables merchants to manage transactions in real time and issue digital receipts, providing greater flexibility and mobility.
Nexi plans to further expand the availability of Tap to Pay on iPhone across Europe.
In February, Nexi launched WeChat Pay in Switzerland, just in time for the Chinese New Year celebrations.
