Visa Tap To Phone

Enable off-the-shelf mobile devices to accept contactless payments without additional hardware.

Today, millions of small and micro-businesses worldwide are struggling with the burdens of traditional payment acceptance. Tap to Phone makes it easier for sellers to use the smartphones they already own to accept payments—simply by downloading an app.

No additional hardware required

Sellers around the world can now accept payments using current-generation Android devices—while limiting physical contact at the point of sale. Customers win too, as they can make safe, contactless payments with just a tap of their contactless card, phone, or watch to the seller’s NFC-enabled smartphone.

Explore some of the many ways that Tap to Phone is expanding payment acceptance.

Visa’s Tap to Phone Contactless Kernel is a custom-built kernel written in Java that enables contactless payment acceptance for Visa payment credentials via contactless card or any NFC-enabled device (mobile, wearable, etc.) on any NFC-enabled Android Commercial-off- the-Shelf (COTS) device.

Solution providers or acquirers who intend to build a Tap to Phone payment application can either build their own kernel or leverage Visa’s easy-to-integrate kernel to accelerate solution development, effectively reducing kernel development time and eliminating the need for L2 certification.
