Moki, a mobile app security and operations company, today announced it has partnered with North American Bancard to secure and manage its mobile point-of-sale solutions for in-store payment processing, according to a press release. NAB is delivering its new mobile payment platform, PayAnywhere Storefront, on custom-built in-store kiosks controlled by Moki's Launcher.

The payment solution uses a purpose-built Android device to create a custom merchant experience, according to NAB. Launcher enables PayAnywhere Storefront to control which apps are available to its merchants, remotely configure the user experience, and silently update critical apps without requiring user intervention.

"We needed to create a mobile point-of-sale solution that kept costs to our customers at a minimum while creating a secure and merchant-friendly experience," Tracy Metzger, chief information security officer at NAB, said in a statement. "By integrating Moki's Launcher into our PayAnywhere Storefront solution, we were able to do just that."

Moki said Launcher provides secure, customized and remotely controllable desktop experiences for Android. Key features include control of app availability and app updates, configurable home screen branding and screen-savers, and secure monitoring and tracking of deployed devices.

"Moki's solutions allow forward-thinking companies like North American Bancard to use mobile technology to engage customers in more meaningful ways," Tom Karren, CEO and co-founder of Moki, said in a statement. "For anyone building a controlled kiosk solution using Android devices, Launcher delivers the best customized experience for users, while maintaining the security needed to protect critical data."
