CreditCall has launched CardEase Mobile, its Chip and PIN card payment acceptance solution for smartphones and Tablets, which works with all major UK credit and debit cards.

The solution – which CreditCall says is the first mobile payment solution in the UK which works with Chip and PIN – consists of an app and Bluetooth-enabled PIN pad.

Available to CreditCalls partners and developers for white label or third-party integration, CardEase has been developed in partnership with financial companies including Visa Europe. The solution encrypts cardholder information end-to-end, and is EMV certified. 

“We are pleased to support the development of solutions that enable secure card acceptance for small businesses that have not traditionally accepted cards,” says Visa Europe executive vice president Valerie Dias. “This kind of solution enables that acceptance while preserving the familiar experience of Chip and PIN and all the security benefits that it provides. We are delighted to see the arrival of services that can bring Chip and PIN out of the shop and into the hands of micro merchants.”
