Miden Simplifies Payments with Contactless Cards and Wallet Integration

The platform simplifies African fintech operations by consolidating card issuing, accruals, disbursements, and global payments into a single system.

Miden,  a fintech infrastructure startup, has added NFC contactless payments and digital wallet support to its card platform, compatible with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay.

The platform simplifies African fintech operations by consolidating card issuing, accruals, disbursements, and global payments into a single system. Tokenisation ensures card data remains secure, while device-specific tokens enable seamless contactless transactions without exposing sensitive information.

By handling multiple payment functions in one stack, Miden reduces the operational complexity that often slows down fintech innovation. Businesses no longer need to manage separate providers or reconcile multiple systems, allowing teams to focus on building their products rather than troubleshooting backend issues.

Tap-to-Pay is live now, and businesses can integrate through Miden’s Card Issuing API or upgrade existing programs via the dashboard.
