Merchant Account Provider Announces Innovative Mobile Processing Application for BlackBerry®
Merchant Warehouse Releases Free Point of Sale Application for Small and Mid-Sized Businesses
BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Merchant Warehouse, a premier provider of merchant accounts and credit card processing solutions, today announced its next generation mobile application for BlackBerry® smart phones. MerchantWARE Mobile runs on BlackBerry’s Pearl, Storm, Curve or Bold and offers the enhanced capability to use a highly secure Bluetooth card swipe device that brings ease of use, lower processing costs and security to “on the go” businesses.
This free application is now available for download on Merchant Warehouse’s MerchantWARE Mobile BlackBerry Page and soon will be available on BlackBerry App World.
With a growing need for convenient payment options, contractors, delivery people, tradeshow vendors, and anyone else looking to accept credit cards wherever their business takes them, can now securely process credit card transactions. This application promises to save valuable time and money with immediate approvals as well as the convenience of automatic email receipts. Whether credit card information is swiped or keyed-in to the BlackBerry device, all data is stored on Merchant Warehouse’s secure servers, not the mobile device, providing peace of mind to customers, merchants and salespeople.

I am confident that the increased functionality of the BlackBerry application is going to take mobile payments to the next level. We are excited to offer this innovative processing solution to our current and prospective customers.”
