Mobile POS provider PayAnywhere has announced an agreement with MasterCard in a bid to boost functionality and support for small businesses and local retailers.
Smaller retailers who have previously operated on a cash or invoice only basis are increasingly turning to mobile payments solutions and the MasterCard mPOS programme and loyalty solutions provides the opportunity for greater consumer convenience at checkout.
Marc Gardner, CEO and founder of PayAnywhere commented: “PayAnywhere is a pioneer in the mPOS space, aiming to level the playing field for businesses of all sizes by arming them with the financial tools and resources necessary to not only accept new forms of payment, but to also benefit from the transaction-based analytics inherent in a cloud-based point of sale solution.
“MasterCard has long been a driver of innovation in the payments space and through this distribution agreement I expect we will truly move the needle, driving understanding and adoption of this technology that will undoubtedly change the face of retail as we know it.”
