The aim is to promote payment digitalisation. According to Westpay, 80% to 85% of transactions across the globe are currently made using cash.
The focus of the new partnership will be on digital payment solutions for hospitality and retail sector clients.
Westpay CEO Sten Karlsson said: “The partnership allows us to reach new markets, and will enable Oracle merchant customers and others to benefit from unified and improved payment processes, independently of country borders and markets.
“By enabling fully digital payments at the point of sale, we are further improving the user experience which will lead to an even higher adoption of modern payment methods.”
