Viva.com Rolls Out Tap to Pay on iPhone in Norway, Advancing Mobile-First Payments Across 24 European Markets

Viva.com, the first Tech Bank in Europe for businesses, has enabled Tap to Pay on iPhone in Norway, allowing local merchants to seamlessly accept all forms of contactless payments, such as contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets, using only an iPhone and Viva.com’s Terminal app. Whether used in retail boutiques, design studios, mobile vendors, or service-based operations, Norwegian businesses can now streamline checkout and offer a truly modern customer experience, without queues, delays, or hardware limitations.

“With Tap to Pay on iPhone now live in Norway, Viva.com completes its rollout across our entire European footprint, equipping merchants with mobile-first payment technology and a full suite of financial services designed to remove barriers to growth,” said Harry Xenophontos, Chief Partnerships Officer at Viva.com. “Combined with our ecosystem of independent software and hardware partners, we deliver seamless, all-in-one business solutions that scale effortlessly across borders.”

Apple’s Tap to Pay on iPhone technology, powered by Viva.com’s Terminal app, transforms any compatible iPhone into a secure, fast and intuitive checkout experience, allowing businesses to process contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and digital wallet transactions effortlessly. Merchants can get started within minutes by downloading Viva.com’s Terminal app from the Apple App Store on an iPhone XS or later, running the latest iOS version. 

The service supports major international card schemes – Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Discover, and Diners. Apple’s Tap to Pay on iPhone technology uses the built-in security and privacy features of iPhone to help protect your business and customer data. Apple doesn’t store card numbers on Apple servers, so merchants and customers can rest assured that their data stays theirs.* 

Viva.com’s All-in-One business platform gives merchants access to a unified suite of tools, from instant onboarding and real-time settlement to dynamic currency conversion, offline payments, fiscalisation, and support for over 40 payment methods. Businesses using the Viva.com Business Debit Card benefit from 0% transaction fees, further maximising operational efficiency and revenue potential.
