(" Lumiez "), a provider of e-commerce payment services such as credit card payment and convenience store payment, has announced that its " pCAT " payment service for brick-and-mortar stores will support touch payment for six major international brands. Up until now, two brands, Visa and Mastercard, have been supported by pCAT, but now four new brands will be added to the service!
What is pCAT?
pCAT is a payment service for brick-and-mortar stores that Lumiez has been providing since October 2014. Since its launch, pCAT has been introduced in a wide range of industries including beauty, restaurants, retail, and schools, and the number of member stores is expanding. Credit card payments can be made by installing pCAT's payment application on an iPhone, iPad, or Windows PC and connecting a card reader.
Contactless payment, which enables payment by holding up a credit card compatible with touch settlement, and payment in foreign currency, which enables payment in one's own currency, are also supported! As of July 2022, 20 currencies will be supported, making this payment service friendly to international travelers.
Four new touch payment brands are supported!
pCAT has been supporting Visa touch payment and Mastercard contactless since 2018, and now it has newly added " JCB contactless," " American Express contactless," and " Diners Club contactless (touch payment) ", and " Discover touch payment "! These are scheduled to be available in March 2023. If you are already using pCAT, you will be able to use the four touch payment brands by replacing your pCAT application after the March 2023 start date. New pCAT applications are also being accepted, so you may want to consider installing pCAT for greater convenience. For details on pCAT's 4-brand support, please visit the official Lumiez website.
