CardEase Mobile, a payment application allowing the world’s first chip and PIN or magnetic-stripe transactions to take place on Blackberry and other smartphones has been developed by specialist payment services provider CreditCall and will become available in Autumn this year.
The card is read and the users PIN entered on a separate Bluetooth-linked PIN Pad that can be paired to the smartphone. The data is encrypted while in transit and on a smartphone, then sent over a wireless network to authorise the transaction. A transaction receipt can then be sent to the customer by email, SMS or in paper format from an optional printer.
Go deeper with GlobalData
We have experienced huge interest in CardEase Mobile from across the globe; particularly in areas of the world where chip & PIN credit cards are already in use, said Peter Alcock, marketing director at CreditCall.
We have shown the solution to a number of potential partners, which has created a real buzz about its capabilities.
CreditCall states that although CardEase Mobile can be used as a standalone application, such as selling clothing and merchandise at a festival, it is primarily aimed at third-party developers who can integrate with other smartphone apps such as retail order-taking or field service.
