Mophie, primarily known for their juice/battery packs or cases, has now taken a leap, planning to produce a credit card scanner for the iPhone. The picture above shows that the Mophie iPhone credit card reader will likely come in the form of a case which its bottom has a reader for you to swipe your customer’s credit card for accepting payment on the go.
The Mophie’s credit card scanner is a combo of hardware and their own software solution. The Mophie Credit card scanner is simply handy for small business owners, which you can use it on your iPhone to swipe the credit cards of your customers for collecting payments.
It’s unclear whether Mophie is getting into transaction business or they simply act as a middle man. But I guess the latter shall be the better choice for them as transaction business is not their cup of tea. More details shall emerge at CES.
