South African Fintech Startup Launches Instant Cashless Payments Platform for Tipped Workers
With cash becoming less common, workers such as petrol attendants, car guards, waiters, baristas, and caddies are finding themselves increasingly left out of everyday transactions.
Tappy has launched a low-cost digital payments platform that allows tipped workers to receive instant cashless payments. It combines a wearable NFC-enabled device with a linked digital wallet, allowing customers to tap their phones and pay in seconds. There’s no need for the customer to download an app or register an account.
Tappy tackles a growing gap in the economy, where more people are going fully cashless while millions of workers in informal or service jobs still depend on cash tips. With a tap-to-pay wearable and digital wallet, Tappy makes it easy and secure to tip or make small payments—no cards, apps, or bank accounts needed.
