Mollie Introduces Tap: A New In-Person Payments Solution in the UK
Mollie, a prominent financial services provider in Europe supporting over 250,000 businesses, has officially launched Tap, its new in-person payments solution tailored for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UK.
Innovative Payment Options for Businesses
This innovative solution integrates a portable contactless payment terminal with an intuitive Tap app, enabling UK businesses to accept payments not just in-store but also on location and directly from any NFC-enabled device, such as smartphones and tablets.
Flexible Pricing Models to Suit Diverse Needs
Mollie offers two distinct pricing models for the Tap solution: a pay-as-you-go option that involves a one-time device purchase without any monthly subscriptions or contractual obligations, and a Pro tier that provides lower transaction fees in exchange for a monthly subscription.
Robust Features Designed for SMBs
Central to the Tap offering is the portable contactless terminal, which has been specifically designed for small businesses and self-employed professionals. This device can be set up in seconds and facilitates contactless card payments, digital wallets, and QR code transactions. Key features include integrated 4G and Wi-Fi connectivity, an all-day battery, and a large touchscreen display. The terminal also boasts a front-facing NFC reader, allowing customers to tap cards or devices without needing to rotate the terminal, enhancing the checkout experience.
Seamless Integration with the Tap App
The complementary Tap app empowers merchants to start accepting contactless payments immediately via a compatible smartphone, tablet, or kiosk, eliminating the need for additional hardware purchases. As businesses grow, they can seamlessly transition to using the Tap terminal while continuing to manage payments through the Mollie platform.
Commitment to Supporting UK Businesses
Dave Smallwood, managing director of Mollie UK&I, emphasized the company’s dedication to aiding businesses in the UK by simplifying payment processes. He stated that Tap offers the flexibility needed for businesses to accept payments anywhere, either through their smartphones or with a dedicated terminal. This initiative is pivotal for strengthening Mollie’s presence in the UK market and providing local businesses with reliable payment solutions.
A Milestone in Mollie’s Growth Strategy
The launch of Tap also signifies Mollie’s first proprietary payment terminal, marking a crucial step in enhancing its service offerings and solidifying its commitment to supporting the growth of diverse businesses across the UK.
