ConCardis Press releases

Frankfurt/Main, June 25, 2009. For merchants that want to trade wherever their customers are spending money or using services, ConCardis now offers a particularly flexible, mobile terminal. The ConCardis professional mobile measures just 17 x 8 centimetres and weighs only 440 grams. Small and yet robust, this device is ideal for outdoor usage in restaurants, by tradesmen, shipping agents or taxi drivers.

The ConCardis professional mobile provides mobile processing of all payment types. Despite its compact construction, the new terminal makes no sacrifices in the way of security: A privacy shield can be attached that keeps others from observing which PIN the customer is entering. Immediate data transfer via mo-bile radio communication technology enables the card to be checked online and authorised within a few seconds, thus ensuring payment guarantee. Addi-tional advantages of the device are its large graphic display, keys with a pleasant feel and an integrated thermoline printer.

Ready for Open Air Business
Restaurants know that the first rays of sunshine after a long winter attract the guests into the outdoors. But the open air season does not just bring about an increase in turnover, it also increases the distances waiters and waitresses have to traverse. Users of mobile payment terminals profit in two ways. When payment will be by card, the guests can be more flexible and generous in their selection of food and drinks, whereas time is saved when the terminal is brought directly to the table.

Not Just for Emergency Services
There are situations that nobody anticipates. Such as when the door to one’s flat shuts but the key is inside. Such emergencies require more than expert help. Businesses that want to provide their customers with carefree service around the clock also give them the option of paying on site by card. The services provider also profits because the money is posted at once and the additional effort caused by unpaid invoices and reminders is a thing of the past. But mobile terminals are not just interesting for emergency services. Tradesmen that provide routine services such as repairs to customers on site, or shipping agents and couriers can allow their customers comfortable card payment on site with mobile terminals.
