Escher Group has signed a contract with Graham O’Sullivan Restaurants to deliver mobile P2P payments initially into the Irish market. The solution delivers a mobile and contactless card based rewards and payment program.
Escher’s new innovation allows customers to use any NFC-enabled Android phone on any mobile network. This is an Over The Top (OTT) application and for this reason, no agreement is required with the mobile network operator as access to the Secure Element (SIM) is not required. Through the use of this NFC capability, which is now available on most Android devices, retail customers can allow their consumers to download the App from the Google Play store and be ready to pay for their retail purchases.
The Escher Interactive Retail Solution utilises P2P NFC through Android Beam to send the customer identity from the phone to the retail point of sale to allow closed loop payment, loyalty and coupon redemption.
