Enable off-the-shelf mobile devices to accept contactless payments without additional hardware.
Today, millions of small and micro-businesses worldwide are struggling with the burdens of traditional payment acceptance. Tap to Phone makes it easier for sellers to use the smartphones they already own to accept payments—simply by downloading an app.
Sellers around the world can now accept payments using current-generation Android devices—while limiting physical contact at the point of sale. Customers win too, as they can make safe, contactless payments with just a tap of their contactless card, phone, or watch to the seller’s NFC-enabled smartphone.

Explore some of the many ways that Tap to Phone is expanding payment acceptance.
Tap to Phone enables small businesses to more quickly connect to the Visa network to start accepting touchless payments using devices they already have, fast-tracking commerce for sellers around the globe.
High-traffic sellers can use Tap to Phone to increase the number of points of sale on premises, cutting down on queue times and increasing revenue with greater throughput.
With Tap to Phone, sellers can more freely move throughout events like markets, fairs, and trade shows while keeping their point of sale device on hand. In addition, Tap to Phone reduces the need for physical contact at these events, which helps keep attendees safe.
Tap to Phone reduces friction for consumers when consumers pay on delivery, thus eliminating the need for cash and limiting touch during the transaction.
Tap to Phone gives nonprofit organizations an easier way to accept donations of any amount, wherever donations come from.
Visa’s Tap to Phone Contactless Kernel is a custom-built kernel written in Java that enables contactless payment acceptance for Visa payment credentials via contactless card or any NFC-enabled device (mobile, wearable, etc.) on any NFC-enabled Android Commercial-off- the-Shelf (COTS) device.
Solution providers or acquirers who intend to build a Tap to Phone payment application can either build their own kernel or leverage Visa’s easy-to-integrate kernel to accelerate solution development, effectively reducing kernel development time and eliminating the need for L2 certification.
