AT&T Enters Mobile Payment Acceptance Market
AT&T recently announced that it has joined forces with Apriva to turn smartphones into point-of-sale devices that accept credit and debit card transactions.
"Sales increase when small businesses accept payment cards," said Michael Antieri, president, advanced enterprise mobility solutions, AT&T Business Solutions. "And given that an overwhelming majority of small businesses use smartphones, offering a mobile application that ties together payment cards and smartphones makes perfect sense."
AprivaPay™ is a browser-based application that enables businesses to process credit and debit transactions through the browser of their mobile phones. AprivaPay Professional is a full featured application that is downloaded directly onto a smartphone. Additionally, the service can be integrated with an optional card reader and a receipt printer, allowing businesses to obtain the financial benefits of "card present" transactions, along with printing receipts.
Apriva is a leader in wireless payment processing. Its wireless technology is utilized by most major banks, as well as governments around the world. For more information on AprivaPay™ and AprivaPay™ Professional from AT&T visit www.att.com/apriva.
