Surfboard Payments Now Offers Tap to Pay on iPhone for Customers in Sweden to Accept Contactless Payments
Stockholm — February 18, 2025 — Today, Surfboard Payments, the provider of innovative cloud-based payment solutions, now enables its customers in Sweden to seamlessly and securely accept in-person contactless payments with Tap to Pay on iPhone.
Tap to Pay on iPhone accepts all forms of contactless payments, including contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets, using only an iPhone and the CheckoutX app — no additional hardware or payment terminal needed.
At checkout, the merchant will simply prompt the customer to hold their contactless payment method near the merchant’s iPhone, and the payment will be securely completed using NFC technology. Tap to Pay on iPhone also supports PIN entry, which includes accessibility options.
Apple’s Tap to Pay on iPhone technology uses the built-in features of iPhone to keep the business and customer data private and secure. When a payment is processed, Apple doesn’t store card numbers or transaction information on the device or on Apple servers.
At Surfboard Payments, our dedication to innovation is at the core of our payment solutions. For our customers on the Surfboard Payments platform, this solution reinforces that commitment by empowering you to accept payments anywhere — from beauty salons and small businesses to dynamic events and beyond — ensuring you can serve your customers wherever they are.
Christopher Lindfeldt, CEO and Founder of Surfboard Payments, said: "We're proud to offer our merchants and partners a flexible, secure, and convenient way to accept payments in a variety of scenarios — whether you're busting queues, moving throughout your store, or even serving customers outside your traditional storefront. This innovative capability simplifies the payment process, enhances operational efficiency, and elevates the customer experience. We're excited to see how this solution empowers you to stay ahead in today's fast-paced environment.”
Tap to Pay on iPhone enables Surfboard Payments customers to use a contactless payment acceptance solution that is easy to set up and use. Merchants will be able to unlock contactless payment acceptance within minutes through the CheckoutX app on an iPhone XS or later running the latest version of iOS.
