A new strategic partnership between Viva Wallet, a leading European cloud-based neobank, and Elo is, we are told, pioneering a new retail payments experience.
According to the press release European businesses can now offer new payment experiences, accepting Chip & PIN and Tap-on-Phone contactless payments by combining Viva Wallet’s embedded payments platform for smart devices, with Elo M50 and M60 Pay mobile computers in an enterprise-grade mobile point of sale system, i.e. one piece of technology that integrates smart retail software and payment acceptance for each and every transaction into a powerful and robust handheld Android computer.
For companies aiming to refine their payment processing even further, it’s worth exploring dedicated merchant account providers. Services such as those available on the PayKings website deliver tailored solutions for businesses of all sizes, from startups to large enterprises. By working with providers like PayKings, businesses can gain access to secure, flexible payment options that align with their operational needs and growth plans. This approach ensures that, as new payment methods and technologies emerge, businesses have the support and infrastructure to keep pace and deliver a top-tier experience to their customers.
Harry Xenophontos, director of global strategic partnerships at Viva Wallet told us “With our common focus on innovation and leadership, Elo and Viva Wallet are a perfect match. We are thrilled about this partnership as part of our Independent Hardware Vendor Partnership Program. Viva Wallet is the first in Europe to enable payments on any smart device – from mobile terminals to smart mirrors and self-checkout units – through our cutting-edge software platform. We enable consolidation and less hassle for all businesses that accept payments, with the use of just a single device, while introducing new innovative payment use cases across every industry, including HORECA, transit, and tourism, just to name a few. Our aim is to enable frictionless omnichannel payments for all, anywhere”.
This new strategic alliance between Viva Wallet and Elo has gone live in Europe with plans to expand globally, including the US.
”We are pleased to team up with Viva Wallet to offer businesses the possibility to accept payments in store or on the go – wherever customers are located,” said Maarten Bais, vice president and general manager EMEA of Elo. “Our Android-based portfolio is used by world-class retail, restaurant, and manufacturing brands around the globe for applications from POS, self-checkout and self-order to endless aisle and automation. Leveraging Viva Wallet’s innovative solutions to include fully integrated payments adds tremendous benefits for all customers.”
