By popular request, this exciting new feature makes it easier to accept payments in-person however parents and students choose to pay. Whether you're collecting donations at fundraisers, concessions on game day, or student invoices in the front office, MSB Anywhere is your path to collect payments anywhere on campus. **Tap-to-pay continues to grow in popularity** Tap-to-pay, or touch-to-pay, is an easy-to-use contactless payment form that allows customers to pay simply by tapping their card, smartphone, or smartwatch to a card reader. It’s a fast payment method that has increasingly grown in popularity! [According to Mastercard](https://www.mastercard.com/news/perspectives/2024/earnings-review-a-consistent-approach-for-today-s-needs-and-tomorrow-s-opportunities/), in 2023, contactless payments accounted for more than two in every three in-person transactions globally, up from one in three prior to the pandemic. **Younger generations prefer contactless payments** According to [this research](https://www.ey.com/en_us/insights/payments/how-gen-z-is-changing-the-payments-landscape#:~:text=Strong%20sense%20of%20loyalty%3A%20Gen,rather%20than%20using%20an%20alternative.), individuals born between 1997 and 2021, also known as Gen Z, prefer tap-to-pay methods more than any other generation. In fact, this survey also found that Gen Z is twice as likely to completely delay a purchase if their preferred payment method isn’t an option. From these stats, it’s easy to see why it's valuable to offer the tap-to-pay option when accepting in-person payments on campus. To utilize tap-to-pay with MSB Anywhere, make sure you have the latest version of MSB Anywhere app installed and ensure your existing [hardware is configured properly](https://help.heartlandschoolsolutions.com/s/article/MSB-Anywhere-Over-The-Air-OTA-Update-for-EMV-Configuration). Contact your [Account Manager](https://info.heartlandschoolsolutions.com/power-hour-schedule#meet-the-account-managers-ph) today for more information on how to get started with MSB Anywhere at your district.
