Electronic commerce and payment processing provider First Data has revealed that it will offer its merchant clients VeriFone System's PAYware Mobile offering through its alliance partners.
VeriFone's PAYware Mobile is a payment offering that enables smartphones with secure payment options and provides a secure mobile platform to accept electronic payments, along with real-time reporting capabilities that include extensive transaction search.
