Mophie To Launch Their Own iPhone Credit Card Reader
Yet another smart phone accessory maker, called Mophie, has announced an upcoming mobile credit card processing service, designed for the Apple’s iPhone. Known primarily for their battery packs and cases, Mophie is about to start selling credit card readers for the iPhone. Not many details have been released, with Mophie announcing the following:
“Marking its first combination hardware and private label iPhone application device, mophie is launching its innovative new credit card reader, empowering users to complete financial transactions on the go.”
When prodded for more info, Mophie added the following:
“The credit card reader works with an iPhone application and is meant for small business owners to conduct transactions easier.”
So it looks like Mophie is getting into the transaction business, although it is still unclear whether they will be handling the payment processing themselves (as Square is) or simply acting as a middle-man for a service like Paypal or Authorize.net.
