Global Payments launch mobile payment processing solution
Global Payments Asia-Pacific Limited ("Global Payments"), a joint
venture between The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited ('HSBC')
and U.S.-based Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN), has introduced a secure
GPRS-powered mobile payment service called Global MobilePay that
provides mobile card acceptance capabilities for merchants in the
Asia-Pacific region.
Global Payments is one of the first payment processors to launch an
extensive mobile payment solution for merchants across Asia. This
service is now available in Brunei, China, India, Malaysia, the
Maldives, the Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Taiwan.
Global MobilePay is a sophisticated card acceptance solution that
uses GPRS wireless communication network for merchants that need to
accept card payments beyond fixed locations or when traditional land
line communication does not meet business needs.
Merchants can now conduct face-to-face transactions anytime and
anywhere. Through Global MobilePay, Global Payments now provides a
comprehensive package that includes a mobile payment terminal; SIM card
and GPRS network connectivity through a telecommunications partner, as
well as payment processing services.
This new offering from Global Payments is ideal for merchants who
need to accept card payments away from a retail countertop, such as
cash-based delivery service providers or trade show exhibitors.
With Global MobilePay, mobile merchants can now accept electronic
payments to improve customer service and reduce the cost of handling
cash significantly.
For merchants in hospitality industries, Global MobilePay can help
enhance customer payment experience. Hotels can use this payment
solution. |
