"Ingenico is experiencing an explosive growth of innovation and demand for integrated mobile payment solutions as more U.S. retailers are introducing mobile technology to enable customer-data driven personalized service and secure checkout," said Rod Hometh, Vice President of Market Development, Ingenico North America. "By combining Ingenico's significant footprint in retail and EMV-ready payment products with Starmount's mobile software platform enables us to create a new way for retailers to service their customers.

The new mobile POS solution grants store associates instant and convenient access to the latest product information, reviews and stock availability across all channels. 

"Starmount is pleased to be among the first mobile POS providers to deliver a secure mobile EMV-enabled solution in partnership with Ingenico," said Greg Davis, Vice President, Product Management, Starmount. "Now U.S. retailers can use the mobile EMV-ready solution to eliminate lines and/or expedite checkout by transacting sales and accepting returns anywhere in the store."
