Innovative payment solutions provider Aevi has partnered with technology firm Bleu to bring tap-to-pay functionality to merchants across North America and Europe. The collaboration aims to revolutionize the way customers make payments on both iPhone and Android devices.

Bleu will leverage Aevi’s open and cloud-based payments platform to empower payments companies throughout North America and Europe. It will empower merchants to accept contactless payments on both Android and iOS, offering a faster and more convenient checkout experience to their customers. The partnership offers end customers a fully white-labeled end-to-end experience within any channel and any device.

“Bleu aligns perfectly with our overarching strategy of providing customers with a comprehensive suite of in-person payment solutions to accept payments in any channel, anywhere on any device,” said Alex Benjamin, Head of Global Business Development at Aevi. “Tap-to-pay and SoftPOS technology has emerged as a significant trend in recent years, and we are committed to being at the forefront of this revolution. Our mutual end customers can now onboard tap-to-pay merchants through a single unified payments platform that enables seamless onboarding flows and the flexibility to deploy smart terminals using Aevi.”

Aevi’s orchestration platform combined with Bleu’s technological expertise will deliver convenience and simplicity for both merchants and consumers. Through a single integration, Aevi enables businesses to access a comprehensive range of products and services, including tap-to-pay functionality, without the need for complex integrations or multiple systems.

“With one simple integration, customers have the ability to deliver any form factor or acceptance method based on the needs of their merchants,” said Sesie K Bonsi, President & CEO at Bleu. “Bleu is working with Aevi to bring touchless cloud-based payments to ISVs and businesses worldwide. From ‘ap-to-Phone’ to Bluetooth, this partnership future-proofs any acquirer, PSP, or ISVs in-person acceptance strategy. Cloud acceptance is the future of payments and moves beyond phones and enables payments on any POS or connected device.”
