Will provide free mobile payments devices to
businesses impacted by Hurricane Irma
Program expands on First Data’s relief efforts
following Hurricane Harvey
First Data (NYSE: FDC), a global leader in commerce-enabling
technology, today announced the expansion of its hurricane relief
efforts to include businesses impacted by the effects of Hurricane
Irma’s landfall. The expanded program, which builds on First Data’s
recent announcement following Hurricane Harvey, provides free
Clover® Go mobile credit and debit card readers to eligible
business owners impacted by Hurricane Irma. First Data will also
provide free device installation and discounted pricing for these
businesses as they re-open their doors in the aftermath of the
storms.
“Our clients’ livelihood depends on being able to serve their
customers, especially in times of need, and First Data will do
whatever we can to support these businesses as they help others
recover from the devastation caused by Hurricane Irma,” said Frank
Bisignano, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at First Data. “We
have all seen the aftermath of these historic storms and we believe
it is our duty to try to help our clients, their customers, and
local communities recover and rebuild.”
Clover Go is a mobile card reader that plugs into an iOS or
Android tablet or smartphone and works with a Wi-Fi or cellular
connection, allowing business owners to accept secure payments
anywhere, whether that is a temporary shop or their permanent
location. Because Clover Go is wireless and rechargeable, it does
not require an outlet to operate.
For businesses that are not currently clients of First Data, the
company is offering free Clover Go devices with no setup fees and
no minimum monthly fee for the next six months. Current First Data
clients whose payment hardware was destroyed in the storm can
receive new Clover Go devices, at no charge.
In order to be eligible for the offer, businesses must be
located in a “Designated Area” identified by FEMA for “Individual
Assistance.” Business owners who are interested in the offer can
call First Data’s toll-free customer service hotline at
1-855-401-8152, or by visiting these two websites:
