Flint Mobile Partners with NXGEN’s Fidano to Support Mobile Payments

Categories: Flint Mobile

The battle to liberate merchants from card reader hardware and proprietary mobile wallets just recorded another victory.

Flint Mobile has announced that they will bring their swipe-free mobile payments solution to Fidano, a subsidiary of merchant service provider NXGEN

Flint’s app enables merchants to accept credit card payments via iPhone. While the cardholder information passes through the app (the app scans the card numbers and is used to enter verification data) no information is stored on the phone itself.

Fidano’s partners will be able to take advantage of Flint’s platform in the second quarter of 2013. The company, which made the partnership announcement at the PYMNTS.com Innovation Project today, reports strong usage growth of its iOS app over the past six weeks. The app has been available since November 2012.

Flint Mobile was last on the Finovate stage in 2012 at FinovateSpring. See them in action here.

Flint Adds Customer Management, Social Marketing to Mobile Payments App

By David Penn Posted on January 31, 2013
Categories: Flint Mobile

The latest upgrade to Flint‘s mobile payments app looks to leverage both sides of the merchant/customer transaction.

The new iPhone app allows merchants to set up pre-set lists to make inputting transactions faster and more efficient. Customizable receipts make it possible to search and organize customers based on transaction details like product type and card used. These features potentially provide additional marketing tools, allowing, for example, targeted loyalty offers to selected receipts.

The new app also sports Facebook integration so customers to directly post ratings and reviews. For the those businesses that have avoided social marketing due to time limitations or integration concerns, Flint’s app makes it easier to get the customer to do some of the work.

More than 20,000 users have downloaded Flint since it was first available late last year, opting for the dongle-free approach to taking payments on the go. The average transaction has been more than $100.

Watch Flint’s most recent demo from FinovateSpring 2012 here.
