Cash on Tap is designed to make paying for everyday items as easy as possible.
EE, the digital communications company, has announced its Cash on Tap service, launched in partnership with MasterCard.
The Cash on Tap service is now available to even more 4GEE customers, with the addition of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, Galaxy Note 2 and 3, and the Sony Xperia Z1 to the range of supported devices.
Cash on Tap is designed to make paying for everyday items as easy as possible, and is a quick, secure and convenient way to make contactless payments via 4GEE smartphones. The service is accessible via a dedicated application, and allows customers to pay for items under £20 in over 230,000 outlets nationwide – including McDonald’s, Pret A Manger and Greggs.
Available free from the Google Play store, the EE Cash on Tap app features an easy top-up function, as well as a balance checker and an itemised list of transactions. New customers can also get £10 credit when they sign up, receiving £5 when they first activate the Cash on Tap app, and another £5 when they add any money from any UK credit or debit card for the first time.
Simeon Bird, Director of Propositions at EE, said: “Cash on Tap is one of the most convenient ways to pay for everyday items, removing the need to reach for your wallet or search out loose change. We’re pleased to be announcing the next compatible handsets, allowing even more EE customers to benefit from the simplicity and control the service offers them”.
Marion King, President UK and Ireland at Mastercard said: “Using your mobile phone to make payments, helps make life quicker and easier for consumers on the high street. And with EE’s latest range of Cash on Tap enabled handsets, even more UK customers than ever before can experience the benefits the service provides.”
