Retailers can bring a new level of customer service for on the shopping floor while leveraging their existing merchant accounts to enable payment and rapid checkout.

''Based on Hybrid Paytech's ability to integrate with existing merchant accounts through various acquirers, the joint mobile point-of-sale solutions we have developed with StepOne present great value to any multi-store retailer looking to accept mobile in-store payment,'' said Kevin Conabree, head of strategic partnerships at Hybrid Paytech.

"Hybrid Paytech's breadth of merchant services and thoroughness of compliance with current and emerging payment standards sets them apart as a mobile payment provider," said Todd Berner, CEO, StepOne Systems. "It was critical for us to engage a partner that had an in-depth knowledge of the payment environment to complement our Mobile Checkout solution. We found that and more with Hybrid Paytech."
