BNP Paribas is now offering Tap to Pay on iPhone to its retailer customers in France. Tap to Pay on iPhone allows all retailers to accept contactless payments seamlessly and securely using Apple’s contactless payment technology
Tap to Pay on iPhone accepts all forms of contactless payment — contactless payment cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets — using only an iPhone and the app
AXEPTA BNP Paribas Tap to Pay — no additional hardware or payment terminal is required.
Tap to Pay on iPhone allows retailers to offer a payment solution that’s easy to set up and use. At checkout, the retailer will ask the customer to hold their contactless payment card, iPhone, Apple Watch, or any other digital wallet near the iPhone running the AXEPTA BNP Paribas Tap to Pay app, and the payment will be processed securely.
Tap to Pay on iPhone uses the iPhone’s built-in features to keep business and customer data private and secure. When a payment is processed, Apple does not store card numbers on the phone or on Apple servers.
From its launch, the Tap to Pay on iPhone solution offered by BNP Paribas is compatible with the major payment networks used in France: CB —a network that accounts for more than 65% of everyday consumer payments in the French market—as well as Visa and Mastercard.
Emmanuelle François, Head of AXEPTA BNP Paribas, said: “Tap to Pay on iPhone rounds out AXEPTA BNP Paribas’s range of payment solutions, offering a comprehensive digital experience and an optimised customer pathway. BNP Paribas chose to offer Tap to Pay on iPhone with CB right from its launch to ensure that its retailer customers have access to a robust, cost-effective, and secure network".
Loÿs Moulin, Director of Development at CB, emphasises: “Tap to Pay on iPhone is fully in line with CB’s DNA and provides an innovative, digital, and secure addition to CB’s range of omnichannel payment acceptance solutions. We are delighted that BNP Paribas has chosen to launch the Tap to Pay service on iPhone with CB, enabling its retailer customer to benefit from all the advantages of the French CB payment network, particularly in terms of security, reliability, and cost".
