ROAM Data, Inc., the Boston based company that developed the world’s first encrypted audio credit card swiper for cell phones has now made their Swiper available for use with the iPad. The ROAMpay Swiper is also the first secure credit card reader and swiper available for use with the iPad. PaymentMax Processing Inc. is currently accepting applications for merchant accounts which are needed to make the ROAMpay Swiper fully operational.
For customers who grew up watching space age science fiction on television and in movies, the first time they use the Swiper may feel a little like they have stepped into a futuristic sci-fi world where all the scientists walk around in constant consultation with their data tablets. But when the sale is completed, they will find the technology anything but alien. In fact, it is quite earth-intuitive and is easy to use for both merchants and customers.
It has also been designed to discourage and reduce an old earth problem of fraud. The ROAMpay Swiper is fully in compliance with the Data Security Standards (DSS) of the Payment Card Industry (PCI). Running a transaction on the iPad can easily be done without the card ever leaving the customer’s sight. Having the credit card present for the sale and physically swiping it is known to be one of the safest forms of e-commerce and this is reflected in lower rates for the seller’s account. All the card’s data is encrypted the instant the magnetic stripe passes through the Swiper. Transmission of the data is secure and only the last four digits of the card number are ever displayed or stored in the iPad.
