ROAM If You Want To
37 years after the first cell phone was invented, First Data has reached a new feat in both cellular and payment technology. The new ROAMpay system allows merchants to now process transactions safely and securely through their cell phones. Yes, through that device that has slowly turned into our everyday computers. That device that Martin Cooper, a scientist working for Motorola, invented in 1973. A survey done by BBDO concluded that 75% of Americans have their cell phones either on them or within reach during all waking hours. (I am definitely in the 25% that keeps it by them even when they’re asleep.)
This new payment system is compatible on most cell phones (but probably not the first couple that Cooper invented) on all major networks. After working on this new project for 14 years, First Data is proud to release this technology to anyone and everyone with a need to process transactions on the go! Of all wireless payment solutions, this is definitely the most cost-conscious since the terminal used is your very own cell phone. For those of you who bring your business to people’s front doors or are direct sellers, this product is perfect for you. By turning your cellular device into a class B certified POS device, you can be assured that all of your transactions are being processed securely. With features like Voice 2 Talk and Reverse Phone Lookup, inputting customer information is just as easy as directly e-mailing their receipt to them.
So now you can have the freedom of making money wherever you go. First Data has once again made processing transactions easier and more affordable… What will they do next?
