CaixaBank’s new app takes contactless payments and manages them with the same security as a traditional POS terminal. It is compatible with Visa and MasterCard cards, and lets you view the history of transactions made and the details of each one in real time.
This solution enables the bank to help improve the shopping experience for customers, benefiting businesses that need mobility and flexibility in the payment experience such as professionals who travel to customers’ homes for work, restaurants, retailers who make deliveries, and large retailers among others.
Merchants who want to convert their phone into a payment terminal simply download the Smartphone TPV app on their mobile phone, which is now available on the Google Play Store. The app is compatible with all Android devices, be they phones or tablets, if they have version 8 or higher of the operating system and also NFC.
The launch of the new service will further strengthen CaixaBank’s leadership in retail services, a sector in which the bank, through Comercia Global Payments, has upwards of 645,000 POS terminals across retail outlets and a market share of 31.2%, acording to the financial group.
Technology and innovation are crucial for CaixaBank. With more than 11 million users of its digital banking service —one of the largest customer base in the Spanish financial sector— the bank works daily to develop new models that are able to meet the requirements and needs of its customers, bringing its products, services, and financial culture closer to all citizens.
As a result of its specialisation model, CaixaBank is a benchmark for retailers, professionals, and the self-employed in all kinds of services needed to develop their businesses. Customers are catered for through CaixaBank Negocios, the division that develops products and services adapted to suit their specific needs. CaixaBank Negocios offers personalised and comprehensive advice, not only through financial support, but also by accompanying them in the day-to-day management of their business.
