About Felix
A cloud-based EMV payment platform that enables contactless card-present payments on NFC-enabled devices. It provides SDKs for Android, Windows, and Linux to integrate SoftPOS capabilities into retail, hospitality, and transit applications.
Felix Payment Systems provides a cloud-native EMV payment infrastructure designed to modernize contactless payment acceptance. By moving the payment kernel to the cloud, Felix enables businesses to transform standard NFC-enabled devices—such as smartphones, tablets, and kiosks—into secure payment terminals. This approach significantly reduces hardware dependency and streamlines the certification process, which is often a major bottleneck in enterprise payment deployments. The platform is particularly well-suited for ISVs, POS providers, and enterprise retailers looking to integrate 'Tap to Pay' functionality into their existing applications. With pre-certified connections to major North American acquirers and a PCI MPoC-certified SDK, Felix offers a robust, developer-friendly solution that accelerates time-to-market. While the platform is highly flexible, its primary focus is on providing the underlying payment technology infrastructure rather than a standalone consumer-facing payment app, making it an essential tool for developers and businesses building custom payment ecosystems.
