MarketPay has achieved BANCOMAT certification for its Tap to Pay (SoftPOS) solution, bringing acceptance of Italy’s national debit scheme directly to merchants' smartphones.
This new certification complements our existing BANCOMAT capabilities on traditional payment terminals. As a result, Italian merchants now have complete in-person coverage for the domestic scheme across all touchpoints—whether processing transactions at a standard checkout or via a mobile device.
Turning everyday devices into payment terminals
By leveraging commercial off-the-shelf devices, merchants can transform smartphones into fully integrated acceptance points. This capability is especially valuable for sales associates, delivery personnel, hospitality staff, and pop-up or seasonal operations, allowing them to accept payments directly on the devices they already carry without needing to deploy or maintain additional hardware.
A multi-local strategy across Europe
Operating in 10 European countries, our approach centers on integrating domestic payment schemes market by market. This strategy ensures merchants can accept the specific payment methods consumers prefer locally while maintaining a single platform, integration, and operational model as they expand across their European footprint.
A unified payment ecosystem
Delivered through our comprehensive platform, the solution unifies acceptance, payment orchestration, reconciliation, and reporting into a single environment spanning both in-store and online channels.
“Adding BANCOMAT to our Tap to Pay offering is a significant step for merchant flexibility in Ital,” noted Tiziano Depaoli, Country Manager Italy at MarketPay. “Our clients can accept the payment methods Italian buyers use every day, on the devices they already operate, without deploying separate payment terminals.”
