Singapore's goSwiff reveals new mPOS device
The Bluetooth-enabled card reader connects to smartphones and tablets running either the Apple iOS or Android operating system.
Mobile commerce and marketing services company goSwiff has launched its new Duo + card reader, which features compatibility across all smartphones and tablets, according to the company.
The device is a Bluetooth-enabled card reader that connects to any device that runs either the Apple iOS or Android operating system.
"Many of our clients have faced a challenge with the card readers that are plugged in using audio jack; when the audio jack port location changes with the new mobile phone models, the usage of a card reader with fixed audio jack plug is no longer convenient," Eric Laurent, Head of APAC goSwiff, said. “With goSwiff Duo +, the merchants do not need to worry about that any longer as the Bluetooth reader is physically connected with a sticky patch to any mobile device."
The company outlined some of the device's features in its press release:
- Sleek design: Mobile card readers are increasingly focusing on the importance of aesthetics, and Duo + has a sleek, compact design with the built-in sticky patch connecting it to the device.
- Compatibility with all payment cards: goSwiff Duo + accepts transactions from all the major credit cards, and its combo reader also works with many types of payment methods. The 3-track magnetic stripe and smart card reader takes both swipe-and-sign and chip-and-PIN payments.
- Durability: Being constantly on the move means merchants need a solution that is mobile and robust enough for their needs. Despite its sleek appearance, Duo + features a rugged design that can withstand the physical demands of a mobile business. In addition to the durable case that has been designed to stay securely fastened to the device, Duo + has been extensively drop tested.
- Certifications: Duo + is not only PCI PTS certified but comes also with the non-PCI certified version, a great advantage for those customers who want it to be PCI PTS or not.
- Security and authentication: Layers of payment security technology has been embedded into Duo + to protect both merchants and their customers. Compliance with the latest security standards means that card transactions are closely guarded against fraud.
