What is Tap to Pay and who can use it?

Tap to Pay (TTP) allows you to accept card payments directly on your smartphone, no additional card reader required.

Your phone becomes a payment terminal, enabling customers to simply tap their card or device (such as a smartphone or smartwatch) to complete a payment.
