Aussie businesses can now accept contactless payments using Tap to Pay on Android with TYRO BYO

Tyro Payments (Tyro) is pleased to announce that Australian businesses are now able to accept in-person contactless payments seamlessly and securely with Tap to Pay on Android using the Tyro BYO App.

The Tyro BYO Android App is a contactless payment acceptance solution for smartphones running Android 9.0 or later. New Tyro customers can be set up within minutes by downloading the app from the Google Play store and creating an account, and existing Tyro customers can simply download the app and set up a user ID through their existing account. At checkout, the merchant can simply prompt the customer to hold their android device or their contactless credit or debit card, or other digital wallet near the merchant’s device, and the payment will be securely completed using NFC technology. Tap to Pay on Android also supports PIN entry, which includes accessibility options.

Tyro CEO Jon Davey said, “As demand for digital payments has grown, we know that merchants are increasingly looking for cost effective, flexible payment acceptance solutions that allow them to accept payments anytime, anywhere. Following our first-to-market launch of Tyro BYO for iOS in 2023, we’re thrilled to launch Tyro BYO for Android so that we can make payments the easiest part of doing business for even more merchants in Australia.”

Tyro BYO for Android follows Tyro’s launch, in May 2023, of the Tyro BYO App for iOS, which was named Best App Innovation and Best Banking and Payments Innovation in the 2024 Finder Innovation Awards recently.
