Unlock Freedom and Flexibility with Mobile Payments

Today there are many ways to accept payments, and one of the most common and fastest growing is through the use of mobile payments, especially for small businesses. But the term mobile payments can mean different things depending on who you ask.

When we talk about mobile payments, we typically mean providing a small business with the freedom and flexibility to take payments on the go using a mobile or wireless credit card reader, all while offering no contract and flat rate monthly pricing.

This option is incredibly popular in the service industry including businesses such as plumbers, electricians, HVAC specialists, towing companies and more. They’re also a great option for companies that travel for trade shows, events or offer delivery services.
