Felix payments in association with SII demonstrate our Tap to Phone application @ Retail NNow 2021.

 
Felix Payments Systems Limited (“Felix”) and Seiko Instruments USA (“SII”) are pleased to announce their marketing partnership which will be on display at this year’s RSPA show Retail Now at Opreyland, Nashville, Tennessee. Felix is proud to be working with such a well-known, successful, and forward-thinking company like Seiko Instruments.

Specifically, Felix and SII will be showcasing Felix’s ground-breaking Tap to Phone payments technology in concert with SII’s market-leading line of mobile printers aimed at the SME and gig economy markets.

Even before the Covid-19 pandemic hit last year, the global economy had been making a shift to a cashless, contactless payment ecosystem. Last year’s pandemic has, however accelerated this shift in epic proportions.

Felix’s cloud EMV kernel platform enables payment acceptance on any NFC-enabled smart device. With Felix’s cloud platform, merchants can accept EMV payments from their customer’s by tapping the customer’s card or mobile wallet against their NFC-enabled smartphone. No external card reading device is required.

The Tap to Phone use case for the EMV cloud kernel is the first commercial step by Felix to introduce this innovative, cutting-edge cloud-based technology. Combined with the latest mobile printing technology from a global leader like SII, this represents a tailor-made SME and gig economy market technology bundle.

While these combined product sets have numerous use cases and related markets, the SME and gig economy are specifically suitable to take advantage of the newest payment and mobile printing technology, reducing costs, eliminating fraud, and providing easy & fast activation.

Noah Fitzgerald, Chief Operations Officer at Felix, stated

“We are very excited with the relationship with Seiko Instruments. The Seiko team was able to understand the unique requirements of our Felix. Terminal Tap to Phone SoftPOS technology and provide a range of mobile Bluetooth printers to support the market’s portability needs. As Tap to Phone is still in its infancy, we see this partnership as a critical differentiator for both Seiko and Felix as we collectively scale our solution sets throughout North America”.
Matt Schmitz, Director of Sales and Business Development at Seiko Instruments USA stated,

“The Felix and Seiko partnership creates a unique solution that the marketplace has been looking for in a mobile, cashless, contactless payments solution. Transforming merchant mobile devices into secure EMV capable solutions out of the box will surely draw a lot of attention and we are thrilled to be working with the Felix team.”
