Visa Tap to Phone Contactless Kernel
Visa Tap to Phone Contactless Kernel
Visa’s Tap to Phone Contactless Kernel is a custom-built kernel written in Java that enables contactless payment acceptance for Visa payment credentials via contactless card or any NFC-enabled device (mobile, wearable, etc.) on any NFC-enabled Android Commercial-off- the-Shelf (COTS) device.
Solution providers or acquirers who intend to build a Tap to Phone payment application can either build their own kernel or leverage Visa’s easy-to-integrate kernel to accelerate solution development, effectively reducing kernel development time and eliminating the need for L2 certification.
