UK-based payments company myPOS is introducing Tap to Pay on iPhone for businesses in the UK. Tap to Pay is available within the myPOS Glass app and allows merchants to accept contactless payments directly on their iPhone, with no additional hardware.
"As global smartphone penetration and contactless adoption continue to spread, we want to ensure that even the smallest merchants have the technology to grow their sales," said Rob Hay, CEO of myPOS Payments Ltd. "With Tap to Pay on iPhone and myPOS Glass, business owners can start taking payments from anywhere – in the store or on the go. We are excited to simplify in-person payments by offering a fast and secure experience that increases mobility."
Business owners are excited about the new solution as well. "With Tap to Pay on iPhone, I can be mobile. I download the myPOS Glass app and I can immediately accept payments on my own phone anywhere I am. It's easy for my customers and very flexible for me," said myPOS merchant Ahmed Saleh, owner of fast-food restaurant The Best Tasty Meal Corner.
Another myPOS client, healthcare practitioner Asif Parpia at Otowax Removal, added: "Don't need hardware anymore; always wanted a secure way of accepting payments through my iPhone, so I am excited about the launch of myPOS Glass on iPhone."
myPOS clients with compatible phones – iPhone XS or later – can accept contactless payments by downloading and opening the myPOS Glass app, ringing up the sale and presenting their iPhone to the customer. In return, the shopper needs only to tap a contactless payment method like Apple Pay, another digital wallet or a contactless card.
Merchants new to the myPOS platform can start using Tap to Pay on iPhone with myPOS Glass after opening a myPOS account and going through online verification. What's more, by becoming a myPOS client, they will benefit from a free merchant account, a free business card and immediate deposits of all accepted payments at no extra cost.
Tap to Pay on iPhone requires iOS 15.5 or later. No additional costs are applied to the merchant and no separate devices are needed.
Additionally, all transactions are encrypted and secure. Business and customer payment data is safeguarded by the same technology that keeps Apple Pay private. So when a payment is processed, card numbers are not stored on the device, the myPOS app or on Apple servers.
To take advantage, business owners can try out the myPOS Glass Starter plan, which allows merchants to pay only as they get paid. It comes with no upfront commitment, no fixed costs and the ability to cancel at any time.

MeridianLink, Inc., a leading provider of modern software platforms for financial institutions and consumer reporting agencies, today announced its new point-of-sale (POS) solution for MeridianLink® Mortgage as part of the MeridianLink® One platform. MeridianLink® Mortgage Access meets borrowers’ demands for a more frictionless digital lending and account opening experience.
The highly configurable POS solution for mortgage origination looks to assist financial institutions to slash their application and approval times for consumers. Additionally, the product further strengthens MeridianLink’s innovative SaaS-based mortgage loan origination system by seeking to enhance the borrower’s experience and significantly increase efficiencies.
“In today’s economy, borrowers expect to be engaged in their financial experience, whether it’s checking their account balance, transferring money, or originating a mortgage,” said JP Kelly, SVP of Mortgage at MeridianLink. “Mortgage Access functions to make it easy for borrowers to buy or refinance their loans, reduce the friction in the mortgage experience, and decrease turnaround times. In doing so, these efforts will create a smoother process for consumers.”
The Mortgage Access launch comes at a time when American consumers expect an increased level of support from their financial institutions. A recent study conducted by MeridianLink discovered that one third of Americans (31%) feel less confident in their ability to afford a home compared to five years ago, and 41% of respondents believed their financial institution did not provide them with sufficient mortgage lending support.
The launch of Mortgage Access adds to MeridianLink Mortgage, the Company’s mortgage loan origination system (LOS) with a natively built product and pricing engine and automated underwriting. Other features of the LOS include the capability for financial institutions to customize user interfaces and automate workflows, manage electronic document packages, and access hundreds of partner integrations. The Mortgage Access product completes MeridianLink’s mortgage lending platform, delivering an end-to-end digital mortgage experience.
Mortgage Access is the latest offering in a series of investments MeridianLink has made to further grow and improve its product offerings related to mortgage lending. In late 2022, MeridianLink acquired OpenClose™, an award-winning provider of residential mortgage software, to offer omnichannel mortgage solutions and leading POS capabilities that improve efficiency while reducing costs and time to close. In March 2023, both MeridianLink and OpenClose received a HousingWire Tech100 Mortgage Award in recognition of their best-in-class mortgage lending products.

Cloud Based POS

NewStore, a modular, mobile-first omnichannel cloud platform for retail brands worldwide, today announced AllSaints will roll out its mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) in more than 200 stores globally. This is an extension of the partnership as the British fashion retailer previously selected NewStore to replace its homegrown direct-to-consumer mobile app. These initiatives demonstrate AllSaints' commitment to its digital transformation strategy and its dedication to offering customers a premium, unified, and seamless shopping experience across all channels.
Since the company was founded in 1994, AllSaints has prided itself on creating collections that are designed to make people look and feel good. Each piece is crafted with its own unique shape, style, and attention to detail. With NewStore, AllSaints will now offer personalized, high-touch shopping experiences that complement the exceptional quality of its products, regardless of when, where, or how consumers choose to interact with the brand.
"Our goal has always been to create customer journeys that are effortless and contemporary. To do this, we needed a modular yet comprehensive omnichannel platform that could empower us to innovate and adapt," said James Reid, Chief Innovation Officer, AllSaints. "We originally selected NewStore to build our consumer app, but that was just the beginning. By expanding our partnership, we are elevating the overall customer experience and future-proofing our technology strategy at the same time."
The NewStore mPOS will unlock new benefits like enhanced associate mobility, streamlining the checkout process, and allowing AllSaints stylists to interact with customers anywhere on the store floor, using only an iPhone or iPad. Also, by seamlessly integrating with the other components of AllSaints' retail tech stack, NewStore will be able to access all customer, order, and inventory data, enabling a number of unified commerce flows.
At the same time, the AllSaints App, which is powered by NewStore and offered as part of its omnichannel-as-a-service offering, gives customers a premium mobile shopping experience via its beautiful, interactive, and intuitive UX. After going live in March 2023, the app has been downloaded more than 75,000 times, with more than 8,000 reviews and an average app rating of 4.9 stars. Also, the app now accounts for a significant proportion of the brand's total ecommerce revenue, and has more than doubled the performance of the original AllSaints app. Most importantly, because NewStore Consumer Apps seamlessly integrate with the other components of the platform, AllSaints can offer more personalized and efficient interactions, regardless of channel, leading to increased loyalty and sales.
"There is no one-size-fits-all formula when it comes to executing an omnichannel strategy, and the composable architecture of our platform offers enterprise brands like AllSaints the agility and adaptability required to meet their digital transformation goals," said Stephan Schambach, Founder and CEO, NewStore. "AllSaints' decision to adopt both our mobile POS and consumer app demonstrates their commitment to a holistic omnichannel strategy. By working seamlessly together, these solutions will allow the brand to offer a truly unified shopping experience across every touchpoint."
