No digits. Just a name.
Most payments here start with a number. One person reads it out, the other types it in, and both hope it’s right. AirPay starts with what you already know: who you’re paying.
Discover. Select. Pay.
From opening AirPay to money sent, without typing a single account number.

One radar. Shops and people.
The same radar finds the shop in front of you and the friend beside you, both by name.
