Ingenico Group Launches Moby/3000 Bluetooth mPOS Solution to Aid EMV Migration for Small Merchants
Ingenico
Group (Euronext: FR0000125346 - ING), the global leader in seamless
payment, announced today that Ingenico Mobile Solutions, its mobile
point of sale (mPOS) division, has launched the Moby/3000, a
Bluetooth-enabled mPOS card reader equipped to accept both EMV chip &
sign and magstripe transactions. While many mobile card readers still
rely on audio jack connectivity, the Moby/3000 wirelessly pairs with
Android (News - Alert) and iOS smartphones and tablets using Bluetooth™ 4.0, offering
future-proofed connectivity to all of the latest mobile devices,
including those without audio jacks, such as Apple's new iPhone (News - Alert) 7™.
The Moby/3000 is available at a similar price point to magstripe-only
card readers, enabling merchant service providers (MSPs), independent
sales organizations (ISOs) and independent software vendors (ISVs) to
maintain their current business models, rather than having to charge
merchants a higher price for an EMV-enabled device. The low cost
Bluetooth card reader offers payment solution providers the ability to
ease the financial burden of EMV migration for their small business
customers, while also helping to protect them against chargebacks.
"Migrating to EMV can be daunting to small merchants, as the switch can
be costly or require a significant overhaul in their point of sale
soluion," said David Szczepanski, chief operating officer at Ingenico
Mobile Solutions. "The Moby/3000 makes it possible for all merchants to
cost-effectively upgrade their mPOS payment solutions to accept chip
cards and reduce their risk and liability for fraudulent transactions.
With its consumer-friendly design, Bluetooth connectivity and
simplicity, MOBY/3000 is built for wide adoption among small merchants."
Additional features and benefits of the Moby/3000 include:
-
Small, lightweight (2.8-oz.), and pocket-sized form factor for easy
portability
-
EMV chip card and magstripe readers to accept all forms of card-based
payments in the US
-
Compatible with virtually any iOS or Android device
-
EMV Level 1 and 2 contact certification
-
EMV certified to the Ingenico Mobile Solutions gateway to start

-

-
Long lasting battery of 260mAh for all day mobile use

The Moby/3000 mPOS card readers will begin shipping in November 2016,
and are available for order now. For more information visit: https://ingenico.us/mobile-solutions/mpos-white-label-platform/mpos-card-readers-terminals/moby-3000.html.
