Back in March, we announced the new Near Field Communication (NFC)-enabled PayPal Here card reader. The good news is that you can now register your interest to buy the device, so you’ll be among the first to get it when it goes on sale this summer.

 

The new PayPal Here card reader is perfect for a business looking to cash in on the boom in contacless payments in Britain. According to the UK Cards Association, over 318 million contactless card payments were made in the UK last year. It lets any business accept contactless card and contactless mobile payments. This will give consumers the choice to ‘touch and go’ on purchases up to £20, as well as make larger transactions through Chip and PIN on the same card reader. The PayPal Here app also lets you send digital receipts and invoices, and to log cash and cheque payments.

 

By offering contactless as well as traditional Chip and PIN card payments, PayPal Here gives businesses more ways to get paid by customers. That’s good news for anyone who wants to get ahead in the nation’s contactless future.

 

Here’s to getting paid anytime, anywhere.
