A few hours ago, Intuit showcased its new mobile applications lineup at an event in Moutain View, among them, an updated version of its GoPayment service launched as an iPhone app in 2009.
GoPayment , just like competing solution Square, enables anyone to process credit card payment directly on a smartphone, using a free credit card scanner plugged into the phone or the iPad. (picture below)
Small businesses will be able to start processing credit cards on a mobile device (iPhone or iPad) without needing to provide bank account details! The Intuit prepaid debit card (in the large picture above) acts like a bank account: users deposit funds directly onto the card. The GoPayment Prepaid debit card will be available soon. Intuit did not share the exact shipping date.
