“This news is saying mobile commerce is now being taken seriously not just by a few ISOs but by the largest ones of them all,” said Will Wang Graylin, CEO of Roam, Boston. “This solution effectively turns the mobile phones of merchants into their own mobile POS terminal to accept payment and do business.”

IPayment is one of the largest providers of credit and debit card-based payment processing services in the United States. It is headquartered in Nashville, TN, and maintains an operating center in Los Angeles. 

Enterprises can add additional applications to their end users such as order entry, inventory management, customer relationship management (CRM) and payments.
