A provider of secure mobile payment and payment gateway solutions, CHARGE Anywhere recently announced the compatibility of Audio Jack Magnetic Card Reader with CHARGE Anywhere's Mobile Payment Application for BlackBerry (News - Alert).

BlackBerry device owners will now be able to leverage the most cost-effective solution and be able to swipe credit cards anywhere, anytime due to the compatibility of the Audio Jack Card Reader with CHARGE Anywhere's award-winning Mobile Payment Application for BlackBerry and the PCI (News - Alert) DSS Level 1 payment gateway, ComsGate.

In a release, Paul Sabella, CEO of CHARGE Anywhere, said, "Providing low cost solutions that enable businesses to accept secure card payments anywhere, anytime on a BlackBerry phone is critical to enterprise and SMB clients looking to expand services on the proven security of their BlackBerry devices. With the CHARGE Anywhere Mobile Payment Application for BlackBerry, businesses can take advantage of our PCI security, end to end encryption and device management services while effortlessly turning their Sprint, AT&T or Verizon Wireless (News - Alert) BlackBerry phone into a secure, mobile point-of-sale terminal."

Blackberry users will now be able to securely process payments in real-time, reducing risk and decreasing the scope of PCI-DSS because of CHARGE Anywhere's distinct mobile point-of-sale solution for BlackBerry. This solution enables users to capture and export mission critical business data such as employee number, tips, GPS location, signature capture, invoice number and more.
