VeriFone Working on a Card Reader for Tablets
- The e-PSP VeriFone Systems could envisage to launch a card reader for tablets by the end of August 2011.
- This reader should be adapted to iPads and Samsung’s Galaxy Tabs. Several retailers are currently testing this solution.
- No information has yet been disclosed regarding its price.
- This initiative shows that players now get involved in mobile payments and intend to exploit all possible media. Tablets are now considered as cash collection solutions, just like mobile phones. They also display more advantages, for instance, as far as ergonomics is concerned.
- Start-ups are not the only players positioned on this innovative sector, as large scale processors try to take advantage of this growing market too.
