Unlike other mobile phone based POS solutions that can only reach the iPhone or small numbers of smart phones, ROAMpay can reach hundreds of different phone models and on all carriers, to maximize penetration of end-users.

The ROAMpay mobile virtual terminal solution is already live and available for ISOs on major processors like Chase Paymentech and others, and the new ROAMpay Swipe readers, along with other Bluetooth printer/reader accessories, will be available to customers at the end of May, beginning of June.



“Our goal is to deliver the most secure, cost effective, and scalable mobile commerce solutions for merchants to transact with their customers,” said Will Graylin, CEO and Founder of ROAM Data. “By giving them the option for a secure low cost reader, along with their rich virtual terminal across many phone models, ROAMpay has removed another barrier to help Merchant Service Providers penetrate the millions of small merchants and delivery fleets that otherwise would be out of reach of the traditional POS solutions.”



Beyond turning cell phones into POS devices, ROAM’s patented innovation also enables it to dynamically deliver a variety of rich commerce applications for merchants to empower its mobile workforce or reach its best customers on their own mobile phones. “Mobile commerce is very complex, and we have built a system that makes it much easier,” said Graylin.

(NYSE: V - News), the world's largest retail electronic payments network1, will be showcasing the latest innovations in payments at the 2009 GSMA Mobile World Congress. In addition, Visa executives will discuss how Visa is helping to drive the convergence of financial services and mobile technology.

Visa will use real life examples to demonstrate how its innovations in mobile payment technologies can enhance consumers’ daily lives, providing speed, convenience, security and choice.

Visa mobile product demonstrations will include:

  • Visa Mobile on Android: In December, Visa launched the first commercial service in the U.S. that provides mobile offers, transaction alerts and a locator service. Visa Mobile is available on mobile devices powered by Android, including the T-Mobile G1™ phone.
  • Mobile Visa payWave: Secure mobile point of sale payments using Visa payWave embedded in a mobile device. Visa will demonstrate both NFC-based and SIM-based contactless payments.
