AppTech Payments Corp. (AppTech), a Fintech company powering commerce experiences, is excited to announce a partnership that will enable transactions across international borders in a multitude of different retail outlets in Canada, including in-person retail, e-commerce, transportation, lodging, hospitality, automotive, and restaurants.

“We are thrilled to expand cross-border payment capabilities in Canada, setting the stage for future reach and access to AppTech’s transformative payment solutions,” said Virgil Llapitan, President of AppTech Payments Corp. “This partnership creates the foundation for enabling a full range of stellar commerce experiences for both brands and customers across borders.”

The advanced payments processing capabilities will support fully integrated Clover products, next-day settlement, support for multiple pricing strategies, cross-border remittance, omnichannel capabilities, strong PCI compliance, and a broad acceptance across multiple types of cards, including MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover, JCB, China Union Pay, and Interac Debit Cards.

The expansion into Canada further builds upon the strengthening of AppTech’s fully integrated approach to unifying a brand’s online and offline customer experiences and purchasing journeys. Today’s announcement comes on the heels of AppTech’s acquisition of Hothand Inc. (Hothand) in late May which gave the company ownership over the intellectual property rights to a thirteen-patent portfolio that broadly covers geofence triggered e-commerce and/or advertising via cell phone.
