Award-winning payment service provider UTP, one of the largest ISOs in the UK, has launched a SoftPOS product – tapeeno. It is one of the newest technological innovations in the fintech space that transforms merchant smartphones into payment acceptance devices. tapeeno delivers to the SME segment a much-needed fast settlement solution (to any UK bank account) combined with cost-efficient payment processing that needs no additional hardware and has no monthly fees.
tapeeno is expected to bring in a significant volume of new merchants for UTP, so the success of the product launch was highly reliant on efficient merchant acquisition, management and retention tools. With Paynt, UTP found a highly tech-minded acquiring partner who worked with them hand in hand and provided the required solutions that overcame the traditional obstacles of the payment industry:
-
Implementation of automated onboarding flows to deliver simple and fast merchant activation.
-
Customised data and settlement APIs to ensure UTP could provide their instant settlement solution.
-
Tailored performance reports and BI tools giving valuable insights into day-to-day operations.
“We are very proud of the product we have introduced to the market. A lot of thought and effort went into making sure that we meet the expectations of our customers and together with Paynt developed the product exactly as we needed it.” – Michael Ault, CEO of UTP
Frank Landen, Head of POS at Paynt added: “The launch of tapeeno is an important achievement not only for UTP, but also for us at Paynt. It is a testament to our capabilities as a fintech company and reinforces our strategic vision of becoming the go-to acquirer for European payment service resellers. We also see this project as a perfect launchpad for the wider adoption of SoftPOS as a solution, and Paynt is well-positioned to be at the forefront of it.”
Paynt is a fully integrated global payment solutions and infrastructure provider. Acquiring-as-a-Service is its flagship product, targeted specifically at the reseller segment – Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs), Payment Service Providers (PSPs), Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and SaaS companies.
