This will give customers the opportunity to shop in-store and online and pay over instalments. Repayments consist of interest-free payment options from 10 weeks to 60 months.

Humm/TAPP instore feature, on the 3rd June, the group announced that the company was launching the HummTap Feature allowing users to tap a digital card at any merchant in Australia and repay this in the same way typical Humm Purchases are made. This greatly expands the addressable market size of the product and will allow the company to have a much further reach with consumers.

TAPP removes the need for merchants and Humm to invest tens of thousands of dollars and several months integrating into in-store point of sale systems. With immediate access to transacting Humm customers, TAPP makes it easier and more attractive for merchants to include Humm as an in-store payment option. Our customers now have a seamless and intuitive in-store payment method at every Humm merchant, in a familiar digital wallet experience.
