PayAnywhere is a mobile and storefront payment service powered by North American Bancard. The PayAnywhere Mobile app and credit card reader allow users in the United States to accept credit card payments using their smartphone or tablet by swiping a credit or debit card through the PayAnywhere mobile credit card reader (plugged into the audio jack of the smartphone or tablet), or by manually entering a credit or debit card number via the PayAnywhere mobile app. The app and credit card reader are compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android devices. North American Bancard developed the PayAnywhere app internally, and it officially launched in January 2011 on the iOS platform. In May 2011, PayAnywhere made its app available for Android devices. In June 2012, PayAnywhere released its Android SDK to complement its iOS SDK, which was made available in December 2011. The SDKs, available in Basic and Advanced, allow developers to embed credit card processing functionality into their own apps. On April 8, 2014, PayAnywhere launched PayAnywhere Storefront. PayAnywhere Storefront is a free touchscreen tablet and stand with built-in credit card reader. PayAnywhere Storefront offers a simple pricing model starting at 1.69 percent for swiped credit card transactions, including American Express, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and PayPal all with next-day funding. The solution also includes data encryption, tokenization and fraud protection, providing both merchants and cardholders with the highest level of security in the industry.
