Global Payments Inc. announced an agreement with Mobeewave to offer its Canadian clients an innovative new mobile payment acceptance solution. The solution is designed to enable secure, in-person payment transactions, made with any contactless credit card or mobile wallet (e.g. Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Android Pay), directly on an NFC-enabled mobile device, without the need for additional hardware such as a card reader or dongle. The transaction is designed to be enabled and secured directly within the device, using point-to-point encryption.

Global Payments and Mobeewave are currently working together to bring the solution to market in spring 2016.
