„Through this collaboration, merchants and acquirers around the world will be able to accept card and mobile wallet payments by simply transforming a smartphone or tablet into a point-of-sale (POS) terminal,” according to the press release.

By combining its digital payment and identity platforms with Soft Space’s flagship “Fasstap” Tap on Phone solution, IDEMIA is building comprehensive digital first capabilities for merchants of all sizes.

„Designed to support contactless card payment, “Fasstap” is the world’s first Tap on Phone payment solution with PIN verification, certified by all major global card networks.
