SafeCharge, a subsidiary of Nuvei, has partnered with Visa to launch a new solution enabling small businesses to receive digital payments from their customers.
The solution is a part of SafeCharge Local and will introduce two services – QR code-based payments and also online payments.It helps consumers to make payments online and over the phone whilst also providing a better consumer experience in store by reducing queues and limiting the need for close customer contact at the point of sale.
Paylink offers small business owners two options to initiate payments directly from SafeCharge’s Control Panel,
1. QR or Payment Link Generator
2. Payment Page (Virtual POS/Terminal)
“Our focus throughout COVID-19 has been to leverage our technology, flexibility and industry knowledge to provide struggling businesses with the tools required to survive this crisis,” Yuval Ziv, MD of SafeCharge and head of global acquiring, said.
Philip Fayer, Nuvei’s chairman and CEO said, “Merchants have been quickly adapting their offerings and business models in order to get them through this challenge, yet even today, many small businesses have a digital gap to overcome.Our team is pleased to not only provide the technology to keep commerce flowing, but the professional insight and partnership required to help merchants reinvigorate their business operations using a completely new payment method, some for the very first time. The more we make it effortless for a business to grow, either locally or globally, the greater the long-term value they’ll receive.”
“Businesses of all sizes are navigating an overnight shift to digital amidst the global pandemic. As consumers continue to embrace digital payments for their everyday spend, Visa is working with partners like SafeCharge to provide the help and resources businesses need to adapt as they rebuild for the future,” Dominic White, Visa’s head of merchant sales and acquiring for UK and Ireland, added.
