Handepay Puts Creditcall At Heart Of White Label mPOS Solution For Independent Businesses On The Move

Handepay MobilePAY enables businesses to accept card payments from their customers in any location

Creditcall, the payment gateway provider and EMV migration specialist, has provided the payment functionality for card payment specialist Handepay’s Mobile Point of Sale (mPOS) initiative, Handepay MobilePAY.

MobilePAY uses Creditcall’s proven mPOS solution, which comprises a payment app (downloaded from an app store), which links via Bluetooth to a secure PIN entry device. All transactions are routed through Creditcall’s PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment gateway, allowing detailed, accurate and timely transaction reports.

By combining a secure card reader with a business owner’s smart phone or tablet, Handepay MobilePAY turns the mobile device into a fully compliant Chip and PIN machine, allowing businesses to accept card payments from their customers on the go, face to face or over the phone via the inclusive virtual terminal.

The new solution is targeted at independent retailers and tradespeople who want to increase sales by offering a card payment option that can be obtained via a short-term rental plan or purchased outright. Handepay MobilePAY complements existing static card machines by allowing independent businesses to proactively reach out to their customers, rather than waiting for customers to come to them. The opportunity to mobilise staff can significantly improve customer experience and more importantly increase sales.

Mark Latham, product and innovations director of Handepay, said: “Our aim at Handepay is to help independent businesses save money and grow. By partnering with Creditcall we have been able to provide independent retailers with a low cost, secure and simple way of accepting credit and debit card payments, wherever they are based. “

Sian Bosley, commercial director of Creditcall, said: “Independent businesses have traditionally been priced out of the card payments market. By putting Creditcall’s white label mPOS solution at the heart of Handepay MobilePAY, the company has proved how easy it is to offer a low cost option for such traders.”

Kathryn Matthews of Kathryn’s Homemade Cakes in Burntwood, Staffordshire, said MobilePAY had revolutionised her business. “The best thing about MobilePAY is that I can accept and confirm bookings with an immediate deposit payment from my customers, which makes the order more secure. It’s also great to be able to check the online system to track the card payments and it’s so effortless and simple to use,” she said.

As well as the app and integration with Creditcall’s payment gateway, Handepay MobilePAY also includes MobilePAY WebMIS, a branded version of Creditcall’s transaction reporting and management tool. This allows businesses to have real time access to transactions made through Handepay MobilePAY, enabling them to manage their payments simply and efficiently.

Creditcall’s mPOS offering CardEase Mobile is a one stop solution for service providers that prefer ownership and control of their customer base, without having to dilute income by using third party providers. Available as a white label solution or as an mPOS toolkit, it allows service providers to deliver their own fully branded mPOS solutions to the market.
