Ogone introduces app for mobile credit card payments

Ogone introduces the m-Terminal app for iPhone. This app enables users to make credit card payments anywhere, anytime without needing a mobile payment terminal. The Ogone m-Terminal has been designed for merchants who would like to have the functionalities of a physical payment terminal at any location and whilst on the move. Examples include tradesmen, caterers, trade fair exhibitors, taxi companies, delivery services and sales event organisers.

Card details are entered into the app in a similar way to how they are entered online. The merchant immediately receives notification of the payment status. The customers email address can be entered so that they too receive confirmation of the payment.

Security and transaction history
The data that is entered is encrypted prior to transfer to Ogone’s security-certified data centre, ensuring that all transactions are as secure as possible. The application can be fully configured and proven in a test environment before switching to the product environment and there is PIN protection for all transactions. Users are able to review the 10 most recent transactions in both a general and detailed form and query any of these.

Ogone’s CEO Peter De Caluwe said “This innovation is a very exciting addition to Ogone’s existing payment services. With the Ogone m-Terminal merchants can now accept and pay all transactions by credit card and execute direct debit payments (ELV in Germany) seamlessly but above all absolutely securely wherever and whenever they want with only the need for their iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. This is convenient for both the merchant and the customer, removing the need for a payment terminal and/or lengthy trips to the cash machine”.

The application is available to all those with a credit card acceptance agreement with an acquiring bank and a contract with Ogone. It is free to download and use and supports multiple languages.
