PhonePe & Visa Unveil Next-Gen Payments Trio at GFF 2026
What Happened
PhonePe and Visa have launched three new payment solutions at the Global Fintech Festival (GFF) 2026: Tap to Pay, Cross Border Scan to Pay, and Smart Accept. With this, PhonePe becomes the first Indian app to integrate all three of Visa's core payment capabilities.
Key Takeaways
The partnership aims to make digital payments more seamless for both consumers and merchants. Tap to Pay enables contactless payments through smartphones, Cross Border Scan to Pay allows users to make international payments by scanning QR codes, and Smart Accept lets small businesses accept card payments directly on Android smartphones without requiring dedicated POS machines. Together, these solutions are designed to expand payment convenience, improve merchant acceptance, and strengthen digital commerce adoption.
