Fidano's Flint+ platform is aimed at small mobile businesses that operate outside of typical storefronts.
FIDANO has announced the launch of Flint+, a next-generation mobile payments platform created for small mobile businesses that operate outside of typical storefronts.
The new programme aims to offer an advanced, aggregated mobile payments solution to merchant service providers (MSPs), referral sources, credit unions, and community banks by providing a self-serve customisable channel registration portal to their merchants and customers.
An extension of Flint Mobile’s core application, which enables mobile businesses to accept credit cards by scanning the number instead of relying on additional external card reader hardware, the new Flint+ seeks to ease customer management.
FIDANO’s CEO, Thomas Nitopi, commented on the new features: “There is no external card reader, no waiting for days for a reader to turn up in the mail, no more frustration of swiping a card multiple times before it reads, or having to pay a higher rate because you had to enter the number manually. It’s all integrated and completely swipe-free.”
