London, 22 April 2024 – Viva.com, Europe’s first technology bank powering merchant payments acceptance across 24 countries and any device, and SUNMI, a leading player in the global hardware technology ecosystem, today enter a strategic partnership, set to transform the way European businesses operate. Through this collaboration, Viva.com’s Tap on Any Device technology, featuring the hardware agnostic Terminal app, is available on SUNMI’s Android hardware portfolio. This enables merchants to enhance their customer service and business efficiency with fewer operational costs and a more streamlined use of technology and human capital. The joint solution benefits the retail and hospitality space across Europe, currently integrating with hundreds of thousands SUNMI devices.
In line with its focus on providing the tools that power a one-stop-shop vendor model, Viva.com’s partnership with SUNMI will accelerate businesses digital transformation across the continent. Viva.com’s Tap on any Device technology and associated features, address some of the biggest challenges that merchants are facing today. Viva.com’s unique technology payment solutions allow SUNMI devices to double their use as payment terminals, accepting contactless NFC with Pin on Glass, and QR code payments, while reading barcodes, taking orders, or checking out customers at a point-of-sale. Whether mobile, desktop, smart interactive or self-checkout, SUNMI terminals instantly become the all-in-one device merchants need to run their business, without the complexities linked to multiple vendors or cumbersome, legacy card terminals.
