Elavon, a global payment solutions provider, and payleven, a mobile payments services provider, are partnering to boost mobile and credit card acceptance by small and independent businesses in Europe (view press release). payleven’s solution turns smartphones and tablets into mobile debit and credit card processing terminals using its free software app plus a dongle. Elavon provides end-to-end payment processing services. The solution is currently running in Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and the UK. payleven has also introduced a Chip and PIN reader across Europe.
“Elavon is committed to delivering solutions that enhance business opportunities for its customers, of all sizes, helping to make them more efficient and more profitable. payleven’s solution is perfect for the thousands of very small, often mobile, businesses in Europe today. Such businesses have previously not been able to accept card payments easily or cost effectively,” said Jan Reinink, Head of Business Development in Germany.
