In a financial world where convenience and security are paramount, kevin. has set a new pinnacle by executing the first non-Apple Pay NFC account-to-account payment on an iPhone. This technological leap follows pressure from the European Commission on Apple to democratize access to NFC. This comes after years where Apple's strict control over NFC technology on iOS devices had stifled third-party competition.

Pavel Sokolovas, co-founder of kevin., articulates the magnitude of this moment: "Breaking down the final barriers of NFC payments on iOS devices represents a true momentous milestone. We are immensely proud to be the first to provide account-to-account transactions using Apple's NFC, giving consumers the power to choose how they pay."

In January 2022, kevin. made waves by enabling this innovative payment method for Android users, a move praised for its originality and push towards an open payment ecosystem. Now, with regulatory changes underway, kevin. quickly obtained authorization under Apple's NFC Rights Program and embarked on development in its controlled environment.

Just six weeks after the launch of the Apple program, kevin. celebrated the successful execution of the experimental transaction in development mode, setting the stage for what could revolutionize interactions at the point of sale (POS).

Sokolovas outlined the technical journey: "We have been rigorously developing within Apple's architectural framework. Our team worked tirelessly to integrate our kevin. technical solution within Apple's Host Card Emulation (HCE) emulation, including security standards, transaction validation, and much more to create a seamless experience that allows users to make transactions from their banking or wallet applications."

The European Commission continues to monitor comments from early developers like kevin. as it anticipates the official start of a broader NFC implementation. This scrutiny underscores the Commission's dedication to fostering innovation and fair competition in the mobile payments sphere. Looking ahead, the industry anticipates an increase in similar payment solutions following this initial success. kevin. has indeed set a dominant precedent, promising an open market where consumers are no longer limited by device-specific payment platforms—a fundamental reconfiguration of how transactions are conducted worldwide.

kevin. is a visionary technology company that is reforming payment systems for the needs of tomorrow. From its headquarters in Europe to the recent expansion in the bustling financial center of Dubai, kevin.'s mission has been consistent: to offer reliable end-to-end technology and significant savings in transaction fees without changing the way people pay. The introduction of its multi-tenant, brand-agnostic payment acceptance network marks a significant shift for consumers and businesses alike, granting autonomy and value without the hindrances of legacy technology.
