Payment technology provider, Global Payments is partnering Mobeewave, a Montreal-based technology company, to offer its Canadian clients contactless mobile payment acceptance solution. Both companies are currently working together to bring the solution to market in Spring 2016.

The joint solution is designed to enable secure, in-person payment transactions, made with any contactless credit card or mobile wallet (e.g. Apple Pay®, Samsung Pay, Android Pay™), directly on an NFC-enabled mobile device, without the need for additional hardware such as a card reader or dongle. The transaction is designed to be enabled and secured directly within the device, using point-to-point encryption.

Advances in mobile technology are enabling our merchants and partners to benefit from entirely new payment experiences that change the way consumers and merchants interact.

Benjamin du Haÿs, CEo & Co-Founder, Mobeewave
Also, we know Canada is the ideal market to premiere the solution because Canadian consumers are well accustomed to tapping their contactless cards to pay and readily embraced mobile phones as acceptance points in a recent pilot we conducted.
