Zeller rolls out Tap to Pay on iPhone for contactless SME payments

By Gloria Mathias

Zeller, an Australian FinTech, has enabled businesses using Zeller to accept in-person contactless payments using Apple’s Tap seamlessly and securely to Pay on iPhone with the iOS Zeller App.

Tap to Pay on the iPhone accepts all forms of contactless payments, including contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets, using only an iPhone and the Zeller App; no additional hardware or payment terminal is needed.

At checkout, the merchant will prompt the customer to hold their contactless credit or debit card, iPhone, or Apple Watch to pay with Apple Pay or another digital wallet near the merchant’s iPhone, and the payment will be securely completed using NFC technology.

Apple’s Tap to Pay on iPhone technology uses the built-in features of the iPhone to keep businesses’ and customers’ data private and secure. When a payment is processed, Apple doesn’t store card numbers on the device or on Apple servers.

Benefits of Zeller’s Tap to Pay on iPhone offering for business owners include no additional hardware or apps required, ease of user interface, access to payment features within the Zeller App, affordable pricing, secure contactless payments, etc.

“Zeller’s launch of Tap to Pay on the iPhone is a significant step forward in our mission to simplify financial management for businesses of all sizes. By offering Tap to Pay on iPhone within the Zeller App—our dedicated business super app—we’re offering increased efficiency for our customers, who can accept payments, manage finances, and streamline operations all from their iPhones. This is a game-changer for business owners at every stage,” shared Ben Pfisterer, Zeller CEO and Co-founder.

Tap to Pay on the iPhone enables Zeller customers to use a contactless payment acceptance solution that is easy to set up and use. On an iPhone XS or later running the latest version of iOS, merchants can simply download the Zeller App from the Apple App Store to get started accepting contactless payments within minutes.
