As a certified and regulated financial services provider, we are committed to complying with all guidelines and requirements in accordance with the international PCI security standard to ensure that all transactions on your Android device are secure.
During the installation of the app, the following authorizations and information will be requested from your Android device:
- Authorization to use NFC
NFC (Near Field Communication) access is required to read the credit or debit card. - Authorization to access/manage the camera
For secure PIN entry, the app requires the rights that ensure that no display recordings can be made during the payment process. This should also protect you as a merchant from misuse. - Authorization to manage connections
The app must ensure that a payment process is not interrupted by a call, for example. For this, Tap on Mobile requires you to set yourself as the default caller ID and spam app. - Authorization for the device location
The location is used for the digital receipt. This allows you to provide your customers with a receipt showing the location of the payment. The device location is also used to fulfil security requirements or to detect possible fraudulent use of the app. - Accessibility services
These rights are needed to ensure that the app is not hidden during the payment process and is always open and visible.
The various authorizations and information serve to ensure the security of each individual transaction. This turns your Android device into a payment terminal, including PIN request for amounts over CHF 80.
