The Silpo chain, in partnership with PrivatBank and Mastercard, has expanded the Tap to Phone technology across its entire delivery coverage area.
Tap to Phone operates through the “Terminal” app and simplifies the payment process upon order pickup—for both customers and couriers.
Thanks to this technology, the courier’s smartphone functions as a payment terminal, so customers simply need to tap their bank card or another NFC-enabled device against it to pay.
The integration of the “Terminal” app into the network began gradually in June 2025, and by May 2026, with Mastercard’s support, the technology had expanded to cover the entire Silpo delivery area.
To date, over 500,000 customers have already taken advantage of Tap to Phone.
In particular, teams from Silpo, PrivatBank, and Mastercard decided to test the “Terminal” app in real-world conditions and became delivery drivers for a day. Throughout the day, they delivered orders to customers and accepted cashless payments using the technology.
