Square iPhone app lets you charge credit cards on the go
|
In the past there have been several offerings for those who want to use their iPhone to charge one of their customers credit card but they require you to punch in the card's entire number.
A recently announced project codenamed Square is looking to remedy that as it will make use of a magentic-strip reader that plugs into the iPhone's headphone port. All users of the app need to do is swipe the card, punch in the amount and have the customer sign right on the phone. After the transaction is complete it is geotagged and a receipt is sent via email.
There's no word on when exactly this will hit the market but when it does it is sure to be very valuable to those who do selling on the go.

The credit card that may stop, or at least hinder, on- and offline fraud
|
|
How much do you worry about your credit card information falling into the wrong hands, either due to online security breaches or a lost or stolen card? Dynamics Inc. is a company that claims to have the solution: a credit card that generates a one-time use code every time it is used, both for online and physical transactions. The company showed off a number of credit card options here at CES, including the ability to keep a single card for multiple accounts. The secret lies in the company's innovative magnetic strip, which can be programmed in real time, and—more importantly—wiped clean just as quickly.

Matt Taibbi on how credit card firms use hidden clauses to steal millions from small businesses
|
Credit Card Firms: They Don't Just Steal From Cardholders | Matt Taibbi | Rolling Stone
When a restaurant opens for business, it signs service contracts with middleman firms that allow them to accept charges from Visa and MasterCards. These middleman firms process the charges on behalf of the issuing cards, and also debit the accounts of merchants for things like debit fees.
The problem is that when merchants like these restaurant owners in Utah sign their service contracts, they also have to agree to a series of draconian security rules, under which they are automatically liable to the card companies if the card companies suspect fraud or lax security procedures.
In the case of the Utah restaurant, Visa and Mastercard both claimed that the restaurant allowed charges from fraudulently used cards, and also violated security rules by keeping the data for too many customer accounts on their company computer.
From Weidlich's piece:
Unknown to [the owners of Cisero's], data on 8,107 customers’ accounts had been stored in their computer system, they said. That was fewer than the 10,000 threshold for a fine to be imposed under Visa’s rules that certain customer data shouldn’t be stored on a merchant’s computer, they said.
Visa later said 32,581 accounts were on Cisero’s computer, without explaining how it got that number...
The credit companies never proved any of these allegations, never gave the restaurant an opportunity to answer the charges, and simply moved, through their middleman firms, straight to debiting the restaurant's account.
