Revolut Business has announced the launch of QR codes to enable customers to make socially distanced payments.

The move follows the FinTech’s introduction of its remote payment solution last year.

The company said that business owners will be able to access QR codes via their mobile phones using the Revolut Business App.

The touch-free feature delivers instant payments using internet connectivity, so business owners can check that the payment is successful in the presence of the customer.

Business owners can use the app to generate a QR code which the customer can scan with the camera on their phone, while maintaining distance.

Next, the customer will receive a prompt asking them to pay with Apple Pay, Visa or Mastercard and they can complete the payment from their iOS or Android device.

“The popularity of QR codes has increased as this payment method is quick, easy and allows people to make socially distanced payments which are increasingly important during the global pandemic,” said Paulo Guichard, product owner for acquiring, Revolut. “We’ve removed the need for additional devices or hardware, as all business owners have to do is use their Revolut Business app and show customers a QR code to accept payments straight away through this efficient and touch free method.”

Revolut Business customers in the UK, Austria, Belgium, France, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Norway, Slovakia and Slovenia will have access to the new QR code option.
