Ingenico Mobile Solutions, a provider of mobile payment acceptance services, has unveiled an audio-jack based contactless mobile card acceptance solution in the 2015 GSMA Mobile World Congress conference in Barcelona.

The novel solution named RP170c will support Apple Pay, MasterCard contactless and Visa payWave while processing payments via magstripe contactless as well as EMV contactless cards.

RP170c, which can be connected to iOS or Android phones via a 3.5mm standard audio jack, will feature NFC reader and dual track magnetic stripe reader, an audible buzzer and color LEDs to signal transaction completion and an SDK for mobile application integration.

Additionally, the device will include EMV Level 1 contactless certification, certification for qVSD and MSD (Visa), plus M/Stripe and M/Chip (MasterCard) and an integrated extended life rechargeable battery.

Ingenico Group EVP smart terminals and mobile solutions Jacques Guerin said: "Today, we are introducing the only mPOS solution that will be able to process Apple Pay, MasterCard contactless and Visa payWave transactions. With such a solution, we continue to provide merchants with future-proof mPOS solutions."
