Viva.com expands Tap to Pay on iPhone to Spanish market

Viva.com has extended its Tap to Pay on iPhone capability to Spain, marking its 23rd European market for the service.

Viva.com expands Tap to Pay in Spain

The launch enables Spanish merchants to accept contactless payments using only an iPhone and Viva.com’s Terminal app, eliminating the need for additional hardware such as card readers or traditional terminals.

As Europe’s first “Tech Bank” built for businesses, Viva.com continues to expand its digital payments footprint at pace.

Harry Xenophontos, Chief Partnerships Officer, commented that the Tap to Pay rollout forms part of Viva.com’s mission to equip merchants with the freedom to accept payments anywhere, underpinned by a platform supported by over 450 technology partners.

The solution allows businesses in Spain to accept contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets seamlessly and securely via an iPhone XS or later device running the latest iOS.

Apple’s Tap to Pay technology leverages in-built security and privacy features to safeguard sensitive data; card numbers are neither stored on the device nor on Apple servers, bolstering consumer trust.

Tap to Pay on iPhone is positioned as a practical solution for a broad spectrum of merchants, from restaurants and mobile retailers to freelancers, service professionals, and taxi operators.

Merchants can activate the service within minutes by downloading Viva.com’s Terminal app from the App Store.

Beyond Tap to Pay, Viva.com offers an integrated suite of business solutions: instant onboarding, acceptance of over 40 payment methods, and 0% transaction fees when using the Viva.com business debit card.

The platform also provides dynamic currency conversion, integrated fiscalisation, and operational tools designed to support business scalability.

The Spanish launch signals Viva.com’s strategic intent to make digital payments frictionless for businesses across Europe, reflecting its continued focus on combining technology, banking, and payments into a unified merchant solution.
