Foloosi is one of the first payment service provider in partnership with MasterCard and Network International offering Tap On Phone services, an innovative digital solution that empowers merchants in the UAE for contactless transactions.
Recent Mastercard Contactless Consumer research revealed that 82% of UAE shoppers consider contactless to be their preferred method of payment. Nearly 64% of respondents confirmed that the pandemic has led them to use less cash, and 81% said they will continue to use digital forms of payment once the pandemic is over, pointing to a long-term behavioral shift.
Many local micro and small merchants in the country are currently not accepting digital payments, despite the safety, convenience and value it could bring businesses in increasing sales. Traditional point-of-sale (POS) systems, often used by large retailers, can be expensive and time-consuming to set up, learn and navigate.
Tap On Phone is a simple and cost-effective digital payment technology developed to cater to the needs of micro and small businesses specifically in the food and beverage industry and services like food delivery and farmers markets.
Mastercard’s Tap on Phone solution easily turns Android smartphones into secure payment acceptance devices for contactless cards, mobile wallets and even smartwatches — with no additional equipment or setup-related costs. Businesses can simply download the mobile app and offer it to their customers immediately, providing consumers with a checkout experience that is flexible, seamless, intuitive and secure.
