Apple\u2019s method enables transactions without sharing personal details like phone numbers or email addresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tap to Transfer also contrasts with Apple\u2019s Tap to Pay on iPhone, a tool aimed at businesses. Tap to Pay turns iPhones into contactless payment terminals that work with compatible cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets. However, Tap to Pay requires a third-party app such as Shopify, Square, or Clover. Samsung\u2019s Tap to Transfer does not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Samsung\u2019s version, users can send money to any recipient with a tap-enabled debit card, even if it\u2019s stored in a different digital wallet like Apple Wallet. A Samsung Wallet with an eligible Visa or Mastercard debit card is sufficient to initiate the transfer over NFC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This functionality is enabled through Samsung\u2019s collaboration with Visa and Mastercard. It allows funds to be sent directly to recipients\u2019 bank accounts using their debit card credentials\u2014without downloading any extra applications. If the recipient has a physical tap-enabled debit card, they can receive money even without a digital wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Samsung&#8217;s system allows payments to be sent to users across different platforms, including&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/search?keyword=iPhone&amp;post_type=product\">iPhone<\/a>. However, there is no way for iPhone users to initiate a payment to Samsung devices, due to Apple\u2019s closed approach and reliance on Apple Cash and partner apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The feature also supports Samsung-to-Samsung transfers using direct device taps, closely paralleling the experience Apple offers with Tap to Cash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung&nbsp;will roll out a new peer-to-peer payment feature this month called Tap to Transfer.
