CardFlight inks pact with merchant services provider for mobile POS

Partnership to provide a custom mobile POS solution to merchants through its sponsor bank's network of retail branches.

CardFlight, a mobile point of sale technology provider, today announced a partnership with Merchants' Choice Payment Solutions, a merchant services provider, to provide a custom mobile POS solution to merchants through its sponsor bank's network of retail branches, according to a press release.

"MCPS is a leader in payment processing and has a differentiated distribution channel through its relationship with its sponsor bank," Derek Webster, founder and CEO of CardFlight, said in a statement.  "We're proud to be working with them to offer a modern mobile point of sale solution to their merchants."

CardFlight's SwipeSimple product, announced earlier this year, includes encrypted mobile card readers; payment acceptance applications for iOS and Android devices; a real-time reporting administrator dashboard for merchants; and a reseller portal for easy onboarding and portfolio management.  MCPS will brand the white-label version of SwipeSimple as the "Cell It Plus" mobile application and will make it available through its sponsor bank. 

"We are extremely pleased with our partnership with CardFlight," Todd Linden, president and COO of MCPS, said in a statement. "Deploying a customized version of SwipeSimple is a sound solution for our merchants, and we're confident that we've picked the right partner for the future in the fast-changing world of mobile technology."

In April 2014, CardFlight won the 2014 Technology Innovation Award from the Electronic Transactions Association, the global trade association representing companies that offer electronic transaction processing products and services.
