AMSTERDAM, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- MagicCubeTM, the startup that created the Software Defined Trust (SDT) category, today announced it is extending its Tap to Pay acceptance platform to help enterprise and big box retailers take advantage of software point-of-sale (softPOS) technology to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and deliver better customer experiences. i-AcceptTM, the platform that transforms off-the-shelf smart devices such as phones, tablets, and large screens into contactless payments terminals, introduces new attributes ranging from device management to easier PCI compliance intended to enable seamless, scalable, and secure Tap to Pay—with or without PIN—in complex, large retailer environments.

Key Points: 
  • MagicCube extends its Tap to Pay acceptance platform, i-Accept, to serve enterprise and big box retailers
    "With Apple releasing Tap to Pay as a component of its proprietary iOS operating system, it becomes more urgent to serve the two billion Android users that represent more than 70% of the global mobile market," said Sam Shawki, CEO and cofounder, MagicCube.
  • Starting today, MagicCube will be demonstrating these enterprise-grade capabilities at Money20/20 Europe, booth C50, Hall 5.
  • MagicCube was awarded the first recognition of a software-based Trusted Execution Environment issued by EMVCo, the global consortium which facilitates worldwide interoperability and acceptance of secure payment transactions.
  • Investors in MagicCube include Mosaik Partners, Shift4, Bold Capital, Epic Ventures, ID Tech, Sony Innovation Fund, and Visa, among others.
