Exceptional experience! Tourist Tap has made card-to-mobile payments simple, fast, and secure. Very useful for merchants and travelers looking for convenience without complexity.

Love this! Payments have become so much easier without the need to buy a local SIM card.

This is a game changer though unfortunately on my trials, my visa card was debited, but the amount did not reflect on the recipient account

Great concept for visitors to Kenya — I saw the advert at KIA then tried it the same day. Setup became easy after following the email instructions/video. I only tried Mesa, not Airtel Money. Downsides: 5% fee is high, KES 10k limit is restrictive, you must tap the physical card via NFC instead of adding virtual card details to a wallet and no AMEX support yet (only Visa/Mastercard accepted). You can verify merchants for Till/PayBills before payment, but not to send to phone number (be careful!)

Got paid through the app, the cash didn't come through yet the client's money was deducted. Couldn't find a way to report, clicked on the contact support on an email I received for a previous transaction and guess what...account suspended, and I need to contact a nonexistent customer support. Terrible experience.

Looks promising, but I'll use it when: - It supports Google Pay, or at least storing a card. My physical card is for emergencies in the physical world, and I don't trust a new app to treat it safely. Fine idea but make it optional. - I'm not forced to switch off developer mode on my phone. None of your business. - It doesn't bug me about permissions every minute. Otherwise, I'd rather use Safari com. Just make an honest, no-nonsense app and take your commission.

It's good when it works but deducts money from the accounts even when the transaction is unsuccessful, recently had to facilitate a payment with my own money after the client's card was deducted but the payment wasn't reflecting on the company system (using the app was MY idea so the client expects only one payment). My account was then suspended for some reason. There was no suspicious activity, just connecting the customer's card to the company's paybill.

Trust & Safety: The app requests NFC, location, camera, contacts, storage, overlay, network, and notification permissions. This aligns with NFC payments and user interactions, but the combination of overlay and contacts access warrants careful review during installation and updates to ensure safe use.
