CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Pensmore Software, the company that has made integrated credit card payment solutions available for more than 5.2 million users of QuickBooks products is excited to announce, that they will now be providing the ability to accept payments with Apple Pay. For three years Pensmore has been giving small business owners across the country the ability to accept payments through popular applications such as QuickBooks and now, Apple Pay can also be accepted by any business using their payment applications.
"Pensmore has been preparing for a leader to emerge in the mobile payments space and had hoped Apple would step into this leadership role. We are ready to enable any and all of the small businesses located on America's main streets to work with this new technology," said Jeff White, CEO at Pensmore. "Why should all of the big box stores and fast food chains have all of the fun? We think the real key to adoption of this technology will be realized inside the mom and pop shops on America's main streets."
Apple announced that it will be utilizing Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to accept payments with Apple Pay. Small businesses can easily enable their stores to utilize this technology by purchasing an inexpensive payments terminal. The key for these small businesses to complete these transactions is to utilize an integrated payments technology, such as Pensmore's, to pass payment along to their merchant services provider.
"Since we already built our technology to support NFC, we are able to bring a product to market quickly to support Apple Pay. Now we just need people to purchase the new iPhone and start making payments," said Todd Youngblood, VP of Product Marketing at Pensmore.
Pensmore is currently seeking merchants to participate in a pilot program for Apple Pay.
"The face of payments is changing once again from everyone paying with a credit card, to more and more people wanting to pay with their smart phones and other tech-enabled devices. We are in an exciting time in the payments space and we look forward to being at the fore front of change in the payments technology tide," said Youngblood. "Continuing to focus on innovative payment technologies allows for endless opportunities for Pensmore."
