Global Payments enables tap to pay on iPhone for Malta

Payment technology company to offer solution in Malta, providing iPhone users an easy, secure and private way to accept contactless payments

Global Payments announced today that it now enables merchants in Malta to seamlessly and securely accept in-person contactless payments with Tap to Pay on iPhone through its GP tom app.

Tap to Pay on iPhone 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 GP tom iOS app — no additional hardware or payment terminal needed.

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

Apple’s Tap to Pay on iPhone technology uses the built-in security and privacy features of iPhone to help protect business and customer data. Apple doesn’t store card numbers on Apple servers, so merchants and customers can rest assured that their data stays theirs. *
