INNOVATING WITH TECHNOLOGY
ACCEPT CONTACTLESS PAYMENTS
We partnered with iZettle in 2018 to create a new software patch to
pre-set contactless tipping amounts and keep the payment units awake.
This tech innovation was a world first and enabled passers by to quickly and easily
tip a busker without having to wait until the end of a song.
2022
Contactless payments are more important than ever due to the global pandemic.
