Payment Industry Adopting Isis’ SmartTap Mobile Technology

Isis reports that leading payment terminal makers and software providers are integrating Isis SmartTap capabilities across a wide range of point of sale products, ahead of an expected national launch of Isis’ service later this year. SmartTap is a proprietary mobile-commerce software specification that leverages NFC technology. The protocol enables Isis Mobile Wallet users to pay, present loyalty cards, and redeem offers in one transaction when supported in an NFC reader or POS terminal. A SmartTap-enabled terminal automatically identifies and applies loyalty cards loaded in the Isis Mobile Wallet. Isis Mobile Wallet users also benefit from the ability to receive, store, and present offers with SmartTap-enabled retailers. “The proliferation of SmartTap capabilities at the point of sale takes mobile payments one step further, providing rich commerce features that offer an effortless consumer experience and drive engagement and loyalty in a way previously not possible,” says Isis’ Jim Stapleton. “By providing Isis Ready solutions, POS, payment terminal, and reader providers can deliver innovative technologies that will benefit merchants for years to come.”
