Pesapal has integrated Samsung Pay, Apple Pay, FitBit Pay, and Google Pay remittances on its new tap-and-go contactless Sabi M010 terminals. Business owners across East African region can now conveniently accept digital wallet payments from their customers.

Pesapal Sabi is an all-in-one mobile point of sale solution that simplifies how you manage your business as well as payments within your store— enabling mobile, card, cash and credit payments.

This development has proven successful in place of credit or debit cards, chip and pin transactions and prompts cashless payments. Customers save their card details on their smart devices such as smartphones (as in the case of Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay), fitness bands (FitBit) or smartwatches, then tap on “terminals” to make payments.

“New payment technologies are exciting for us. With digital wallets, the ability for a consumer to transact quickly and securely enables the merchant to focus on providing more value for the customer, with the transactions taking the least time in the process. As a leading payment service provider, and especially in the hospitality and tourism industry, this will be key to stimulate spending among digital wallets users,” said Pesapal CEO Mark Mwongela.

Mark Mwongela also said that the East African region is appealing to tourists. “Tourists carry their phones everywhere, and when local traders and businesses accept payments from digital wallets, tourists can spend more which is good for local businesses. Tourism spend helps create good quality jobs, raises the standard of living and as we have seen, leads to improved infrastructure and services for everyone.”

Samsung Pay is compatible with select Samsung Android mobile devices, including Gear S2, Gear S3, Gear Fit2 and Gear Sport watches as well as Samsung phones updated to Android 5.0. That includes the phones from the Galaxy series that were released after the S6 and Note 5.

With over 25 million daily users worldwide, Google Pay uses NFC technology to securely transmit card information to the Sabi M010 card reader. All customers have to do to pay is simply hold their phone to the card reader while the phone app is open.

Apple Pay now has over 252 million users worldwide with an estimated 31 percent of iPhone users having made a purchase using the service in the past one year.

The new payment channels are currently available to interested merchants that use the Sabi M010 device in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. All transactions are processed via Visa Accelerated Connection Platform (ACP) and secured by CyberSource Inc, providing end to end safety for both consumers and merchants who use the service.
