Today’s mobile phones have taken communication to the next level, allowing users to check their email, order takeout and even listen to music with the touch of a button. Professionals have been able to expand their business capabilities with mobile phone technology. For example, mobile credit card processing turns the mobile phone into a secure, advanced POS system, so merchants can accept payments wherever they go.

Chase Bank recently announced that it is now issuing Chip and PIN credit cards for people who frequently travel out of the United States. The technology has been implemented in Europe and Canada to enhance credit card security, though the United States has not yet made the switch from magnetic stripe credit cards to Chip and PIN cards. BluePay offers Chip and PIN credit card processing capabilities for its Canadian merchants.
