Opening mPOS to more businesses
Handpoint, the mobile payments company, is releasing the code for its mobile Point-of-Sale (mPOS) payment apps as open source. Available immediately from its website, the source code allows any business or developer to create highly secure bespoke payment apps which are tailored to meet the needs of their customers.
David Gudjonsson, CEO and co-founder of Handpoint commented, “Handpoint is dedicated to making it as simple as possible for everyone to use mPOS. By removing security as an issue and open sourcing our app code, we’re giving businesses and developers unprecedented freedom and flexibility to build the apps they need and to significantly reduce the time and cost it takes to roll out mPOS. We’re looking forward to seeing what people will create with the combination of our code and how creative people can be with our code combined with rock solid P2PE security.”
