CreditCall is launching CardEase Mobile, an m-payment app that enables businesses to accept Chip and PIN transactions on BlackBerry or Android devices. Launched in collaboration with CreditCall's banking partner, CardEase Mobile will go live on 1 December.
CardEase Mobile is EMV (Europay, MasterCard, Visa) certified, and approved by Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Uniquely, it incorporates bank-grade end-to-end encryption, ensuring data cannot be compromised at any time during a transaction.
CardEase Mobile turns a BlackBerry or Android smartphone or tablet, in conjunction with a Bluetooth PIN pad, into a secure mobile credit card terminal which processes both Chip and PIN and magnetic stripe card transactions. Receipts for the transactions are provided by text message or email, directly from the smartphone.
Many types of mobile businesses such as tradespeople, repair or delivery services right through to market traders, beauticians and personal trainers can now accept Chip and PIN payments on their mobile phone, without the hassle of cheques or cash.
Provided they own a BlackBerry or Android device, have a merchant account with one of our partners and a mobile signal, card payments can be taken wherever their business takes them. The card reader/PIN pad and the mobile app is provided as part of the package from CreditCall’s acquiring bank partners.
