Flint Mobile has recently launched its swipe-free mobile payment app on the Google Play Store.
Flint Mobile announced the launch at the Small Business Expo. The app is compatible with a broad range of Android devices used by small businesses and is free to download. Flint enables merchants to easily accept payments by scanning the card number instead of swiping through a reader. Users also can increase repeat and referral business through the app’s integrated marketing tools.
Flint is a mobile payment solution designed specifically for small businesses and their employees who work outside of traditional storefront and office environments. Users include photographers, therapists, consultants, fitness trainers, computer and IT professionals, caterers, crafts makers, contractors and beauty professionals, among many others.
“We’ve heard strong demand for Android and we’re excited to bring Flint to a large new segment of customers,” said Greg Goldfarb, co-founder and CEO of Flint Mobile. “Since launching on the iTunes App Store last year, we’ve enabled tens of thousands of mobile businesses and we think that our ‘no card reader’ approach will be compelling across the Android user base. With Flint, all you need is your phone and you’re good to go.”
