By Gloria Methri

Mollie, the financial service provider, has enabled Tap to Pay on iPhone for its customers in Europe. This allows businesses of all sizes to use the Mollie app on iPhone to accept contactless payments without the need to purchase or manage additional hardware.

Tap to Pay on iPhone is now available to Mollie’s 200,000 customers in the Netherlands, France and Germany. It allows merchants of all sizes to accept all forms of contactless payments, including contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets, using only an iPhone and the Mollie app—no additional hardware or payment terminal is needed.

This development further empowers Mollie’s customers with a fast, convenient and secure way to accept payments right in the palm of their hand. Businesses that use the Mollie app on a daily basis will be able to run their businesses from anywhere – tracking payments and refunds, accessing funding and managing accounting.

With Tap to Pay on iPhone at checkout, the merchant simply prompts the customer to hold their contactless payment near the merchant’s iPhone. The payment is securely completed using NFC technology. Tap to Pay on iPhone also supports PIN entry, which includes accessibility options.

Key features for Mollie’s customers using Tap to Pay on iPhone:

• Seamless Activation: Instantly available within the Mollie app at the tap of a button using an iPhone XS or later, running the latest version of iOS.
• No additional hardware required: There’s no need to buy, set up, or manage dedicated card readers
• Contactless Convenience: Accepts in-person, contactless payments right on an iPhone – from physical debit and credit cards to Apple Pay and other digital wallets
• Enhanced Security: Built with advanced security measures, ensuring that all transactions are safe and secure.

Koen Köppen, CEO at Mollie, said, “We are laser-focused on ensuring our customers are able to offer a seamless checkout experience and offer all of the relevant payment methods – whether online or in-person. We are excited to offer Tap to Pay on iPhone, allowing businesses to give their customers more choice and flexibility.”
