Bradesco and Cielo offer Tap Bradesco, a mobile payment solution that eliminates the need for a card reader.

Starting today, Bradesco and Cielo offer the bank's corporate account holders the ability to make sales via mobile phone. Known as Tap Bradesco, the solution eliminates the need for a card reader by allowing entrepreneurs to use their cell phones to perform contactless debit and credit transactions.

Tap Bradesco allows consumers to bring their debit or credit card, smartphone, watches and other devices equipped with proximity technology (NFC) closer to a cell phone (also with NFC) to make payments.

"Our goal is to offer a solution focused on efficiency and simplicity, enabling our corporate clients to conduct their business transactions quickly, securely, and at competitive costs, without the need for a card reader, all while relying on the strength of Bradesco. With this innovation, we aim not only to meet our clients' current needs but also to anticipate future demands, ensuring they have the tools they need to thrive in a constantly evolving business environment," says Carlos Leibowicz, Director of Bradesco Empresas e Negócios.

"As a leader in innovation, Cielo is always seeking solutions that make retailers' lives easier, boosting their business. Now we've partnered with Bradesco to offer Tap Bradesco, which transforms your cell phone into a vending machine in a simple, secure way. Cielo is very proud to participate in this initiative, providing the most modern payment technology to Bradesco's millions of corporate customers across virtually every Brazilian city," says Estanislau Bassols, CEO of Cielo.

Ease and safety

The device used as a terminal must have Android operating system version 10 or higher to be compatible with the solution. Consumers can pay with NFC-enabled devices. Like all transactions processed by Cielo, transactions via Tap Bradesco are protected by a robust security framework, privacy protection, and encryption of consumer data.

The solution accepts Visa, Mastercard, and Elo, and proof of the digital transaction can be sent to the consumer's cell phone or email.
