(RTTNews) - Verifone (PAY) announced a new device and operating system (OS)- independent mobile point of sale (mPOS) payment terminal. The PAYware Mobile e355, the newest mPOS terminal, frees merchants from consumer technology upgrade cycles and adapts to multiple OS options. The device supports all of the major OS options, including Android, iOS and Windows. The PAYware Mobile e355 will be available in late summer 2015.

In a separate announcement, Verifone reported that Vantiv Inc. (VNTV), a provider of payment processing services and related technology solutions for merchants and financial institutions, has approved Verifone's Secure Commerce Architecture (SCA) solution for connecting Verifone's line of commerce-enabled MX 900 payment terminals directly with Vantiv's class leading processing platform. Vantiv's support of SCA ensures that merchants using Verifone's MX 900 series of terminals and Vantiv's processing services can enhance payment data security and reduce the scope of EMV certification.
