Geidea is the first fintech company to roll out this contactless payment acceptance technology across the Kingdom, which will enable businesses to use smartphones as payment acceptance devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tap-on-Phone is an innovative, intuitive, and cost-effective app-based solution that allows small businesses to quickly embrace electronic acceptance through their smart mobile or tablet device. With smart phone penetration of more than 70% in the Kingdom, Tap-on-Phone has the potential to reach over 300,000 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and merchants in the first year alone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic has forced a shift in consumer behavior towards digital and contactless payment channels, making it imperative for businesses to adapt and shift to a more online-based model. We are therefore proud to partner with Mastercard and provide businesses with a relevant solution that offers the ability to accept safe, secure, and seamless contactless payments through Tap-on-Phone technology,\u201d\u00a0<strong>said Abdullah Al-Othman, the Founder and Chairman of Geidea.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Abdullah-Al-Othman-Founder-and-Chairman-Geidea.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Abdullah-Al-Othman-Founder-and-Chairman-Geidea-1024x683.png\" alt=\"Abdullah Al-Othman Founder and Chairman Geidea\" class=\"wp-image-23494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Abdullah-Al-Othman-Founder-and-Chairman-Geidea-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Abdullah-Al-Othman-Founder-and-Chairman-Geidea-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Abdullah-Al-Othman-Founder-and-Chairman-Geidea-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Abdullah-Al-Othman-Founder-and-Chairman-Geidea-1080x720.png 1080w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Abdullah-Al-Othman-Founder-and-Chairman-Geidea.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Abdullah Al-Othman, the Founder and Chairman of Geidea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At present, the Geidea network provides best-in-class payment and e-commerce solutions to more than 100,000 merchants \u2013 covering 600,000 payment terminals and ATMs within the Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As one of the many use cases, Tap-on-Phone enables more SMEs to accept secure card payments on delivery, in lieu of cash-on-delivery (COD) which is often the only on-delivery payment option. According to Bain.com around 62% of MENA online shoppers choose COD as payment method when buying online, compared with less than 5% in the UK and France. Cash conversion is key to developing payment landscape and improve consumer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEnabling small businesses to sustain themselves and realize opportunities during and post the pandemic is of paramount importance to us. Through our partnership with Geidea, we can help small businesses expand their ability to accept digital payments and grow their earning potential. The solution will also help Saudi Arabia to transition safely into a secure digital payment ecosystem, without the risks associated with a large cash pool. In this respect we are proud to jointly make a significant stride to Saudi Vision 2030\u2019s objective to increase digital transactions in the country. We will continue to leverage our network, insights, and technology to help inform and adapt their operations as we begin to enter a normalization phase,\u201d said&nbsp;<strong>J.K.

It saves businesses money and time, because all they need to receive electronic payments is an NFC-enabled Android device on version 7.0 or newer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Geidea also recently became the only non-bank institution in Saudi Arabia to be granted an acquiring license from Saudi Central Bank (SAMA).
