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 the entrepreneur's cell phone 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, allowing our corporate clients to conduct their business transactions quickly, securely, at competitive costs, without the need for a card machine and with the strength of Bradesco. With this innovation, we seek not only to meet the current needs of our clients, but also to anticipate future demands, ensuring that they have the necessary tools 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 looking for solutions that make life easier for retailers, boosting their business. Now we have joined forces with Bradesco to offer Tap Bradesco, which transforms your cell phone into a vending machine in a simple and secure way. Cielo is very proud to be part of this initiative, providing the most modern payment technology to millions of Bradesco corporate customers spread across practically every Brazilian city,” says Estanislau Bassols, CEO of Cielo.
Ease and safety
The device used as a card reader must have an Android operating system version 10 or higher to be compatible with the solution. The consumer can pay with devices that have NFC technology enabled. As with every operation processed by Cielo, the transaction through Tap Bradesco is protected by a robust security framework, privacy protection, and consumer data encryption.
The solution accepts Visa, Mastercard and Elo cards and proof of the digital transaction can be sent to the consumer's cell phone or email.
