myPOS, a UK-based fintech company, announces the launch of Tap to Pay on iPhone for merchants in Austria. The solution is available through the myPOS Glass app and allows businesses to accept contactless payments directly on their iPhone – no additional hardware needed. Merchants will be able to accept all kinds of contactless payments – contactless debit and credit cards, as well as Apple Pay and other digital wallets.

“As consumer preferences increasingly shift towards contactless and digital wallet payments, Tap to Pay on iPhone ensures entrepreneurs can meet their customers’ expectations and gives them the tools they need to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving payment landscape. It’s a cutting-edge solution, simplifying payment acceptance while eliminating the need for additional hardware. It’s designed to empower businesses of all sizes with an easy-to-use, secure system right on their iPhone,” shared Zoltan Gyenge, myPOS Managing Director for the D-A-CH region and Hungary.

To use Tap to Pay on iPhone, merchants need to download the myPOS Glass app on an iPhone XS or later running the latest version of iOS. After that, they simply open the app, enter the purchase amount and hold their iPhone up to the customer. The customer then taps their card or device over the contactless payment symbol on the merchant’s iPhone and within seconds, the transaction is processed.

Austrian business owners are eagerly anticipating the new solution. "We’re really looking forward to Tap to Pay on iPhone being available in Austria. The ability to accept payments directly with our iPhones without the need for any additional hardware is going to be a game-changer for us. This means fewer complications, lower costs, and more flexibility in how we operate. Tap to Pay on iPhone will make transactions faster and more convenient for both us and our customers." – Neli Hristova, Grand Car Wien

For merchants new to myPOS, getting started with Tap to Pay on iPhone is simple. After opening a myPOS account and completing the verification process, they can begin using Tap to Pay on iPhone with the myPOS Glass app on an iPhone XS or later, running the latest version of iOS. Additional benefits of becoming a myPOS client include a free merchant account, a free business card, and instant deposits of all accepted payments at no extra cost.

All transactions made with Tap to Pay on iPhone are encrypted and secure. The solution uses the iPhone’s built-in security and privacy features to protect both merchant and customer data. When a payment is processed, neither Apple nor myPOS store card numbers or transaction information. This way, both merchants and customers can be sure that their data remains their data.

To get started, merchants can try out the myPOS Glass Starter plan. With no upfront commitments, no fixed costs, and the flexibility to cancel at any time, merchants only pay as they get paid.
