M-Payments Will Be The Future of Payment Processing

There is really nothing we can do right now as Canadians with the M-Processing technologies like near field communication (NFC) and electronic-wallet (e-wallet) we are stuck with our current way of processing with regular retail debit machines.

However, it is important to look into the crystal ball every once in a while. It is no surprise that our mobile devices are quickly becoming a all-in-one solution and they will most likely be the key way of transacting with all merchants offline in the future.

I was reading a great article that shares where we are in North America on M-Processing technologies and the ‘pros‘ and ‘cons‘ involved with conducting payment processing on this platform. Article can be found here.

Accept Credit Card Payment With Your iPhone!

Ever since I purchased my iPhone about 6 months ago, my mind has really opened to where mobile payment processing is going. Just look at this awesome application for payment processing on the iPhone.

It is my personal opinion the future of merchant accounts and the payment processing industry is going to be very closely tied to our mobile phones.

Too bad it only works with US merchant account(s). I think I will try and get this iphone app to work with a Canadian Merchant Account service provider.

Does anyone know of an iPhone credit card processing application that works with a Canadian Merchant Account provider…? If so, please let me know in the comment section below.
