Phos Launches Tap to Pay Solution in the US With Elavon
Fintech Finance
“Phos, the global leader in software point of sale (softpos) orchestration for businesses, has launched a Tap to Pay solution in North America with global acquirer Elavon. The solution will enable Independent Sales Organisations (ISOs) and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) in the US and Canada to turn mobile devices into contactless payment terminals. The deal marks the first of many acquiring partnerships being targeted by the fintech, as phos eyes expansion in the North America market. The size of the opportunity is clear, with a total of 64 million merchants in the US alone that do not currently accept card payments. This reliance on legacy technology and a lack of affordable alternatives greatly reduces the payment options for customers and minimises potential revenue for businesses in the region. In bringing Tap to Pay to the market, ISOs in North America can now use phos’ leading software-only POS solution to accept card payments directly on any NFC-enabled smartphone or tablet, in a secure and contactless way.”

Phos Becomes the First Solution Provider Globally to Meet Latest Visa Requirements With SDK
PR Newswire
“Phos, the fintech behind the leading software-only Point of Sale system (SoftPoS), has become the first solution provider to meet a new Visa requirement with its Software Development Kit (SDK). An SDK brings together a set of tools that enable developers to build and programme mobile applications for specific platforms. The news is a major coup for the UK-based fintech as it becomes the first provider globally to meet the Visa Ready Tap to Phone Solution Requirements, version 1.8. The approved phos SDK means that the fintech’s partners and customers no longer need to submit their own solution to a PCI certified lab for review.”
