How Tap on Phone Is Changing Merchant Payments External Inbox
Tap on Phone has been one of the most talked-about innovations in payments, but many agents still aren't offering it to merchants. In this episode of the Merchant Sales Podcast, James sits down with Vlad Sadovskiy, CEO of Netevia, to discuss why Tap on Phone is gaining momentum, the challenges behind bringing it to market, and how ISOs can use it to compete more effectively in a Square-dominated segment.
They explore real-world use cases for salons, field service businesses, events, and mobile merchants, along with instant onboarding, funding innovations, and the growing importance of creating a seamless merchant experience across devices. Plus, Patti Murphy's Today in Payments segment covers fintech access to payment rails, stablecoin developments, fraud prevention initiatives, Mastercard's latest merchant risk tools, and new same-store sales data from across the economy.
