Partnering Nets
Ingenico has entered into an agreement with Nets which enables Nets to launch new payment solutions for small merchants. The new mobile Point Of Sale (mPOS) solution from Nets turns smartphones and tablets into secure payment terminals.
Under terms of the agreement Nets will provide a fully operated solution from the secured card reader to the processing of the transaction. It will use the mobile commerce platform provider ROAM, an Ingenico subsidiary and mobile commerce platform provider, to implement the solution.
Nets will offer a dedicated application and a secured pocket format card reader with Bluetooth connection to use with a smartphone or a tablet device. This new payment solution will be rolled out before end of 2013, with a pilot taking place in Norway during the Autumn.
Heikki Kapanen, Executive Vice President in Nets said: “The new mPOS solution will be part of our Nordic payment application, and can act as a regular payment terminal for smaller merchants. The mPOS solution from Nets will be able to meet all national and international security and payment standards.”
