Viva.com activates CB Tap to Pay on iPhone in France

In a groundbreaking move, Viva.com has today announced that CB, the leading card and mobile payment and withdrawal system in the French market, can be used with Tap to Pay on iPhone with the viva.com | Terminal app - allowing businesses to take contactless payments from a potential pool of nearly 76 million card or mobile holders with the CB scheme, with just an iPhone and the viva.com | Terminal app.

Tap to Pay on iPhone with the viva.com | Terminal iOS app is yet another step towards liberating merchants from cumbersome legacy payment terminals, offering convenience, flexibility, streamlining payments and simplifying daily operations.

Unlocking the Potential with viva.com | Terminal App

With just an iPhone and the user-friendly viva.com | Terminal app, any French business, no matter how big or small, or what industry they are in, can now accept CB cards with Tap to Pay on iPhone; from cafes, restaurants, and retailers, to hotels, taxis, and solo traders, letting customers pay on the spot or on the go. 

How It Works:

To start accepting CB cards with Tap to Pay on iPhone, merchants are required to download the viva.com | Terminal app on the App Store - on iPhone XS or later running the latest version of iOS. At checkout, the merchant will simply present their iPhone to the customer, who will tap or hold their contactless payment card or device for digital wallets near the merchant’s iPhone. Tap to Pay on iPhone uses the built-in security and privacy features of iPhone to help keep businesses and customer's data private and secure. When a payment is processed, Apple does not store card numbers on the device or on Apple servers.
