The world is heading towards a cashless society…it’s inevitable. Getting rid of cash means making the need for paper trails, ATM visits and currency exchanges unnecessary. Using card payments takes away all the hassle, and provides a quick and easy checkout experience. But while the major companies and corporations can keep up with this digital shift, some of the little guys are getting lost along the way. According to VISA, there are more than 180 million under-served micro-merchants across the globe. Shop-owners, freelancers, yoga teachers, and your average, the hardworking small business owner is suffering due to POS systems and their high fees.
Surfpay wants to help bring them into the future with everybody else and even the playing field. Our innovative app leverages the NFC chip on a regular-old smartphone to enable contactless card transactions with just a tap on the back of your mobile device. This means that any merchant or business owner with an Android phone can start accepting payments from all card types in just a few clicks! Surfpay can also help with other areas of your business thanks to our real-time sales data, our digital receipts, and promotional options to help you track, monitor, and keep up with customers for higher retention rates. Surfpay is mobile, easy, and multi-functional, being the only tool you’ll need to keep your business afloat on the open seas!
