Introduction of new point-of-sale devices
drives the future of commerce enablement in the U.K., enhancing the
existing Clover portfolio
Follows successful introduction in the U.S. in
2015
Entrepreneurs want technology solutions that help businesses
operate more effectively, foster better engagement with customers,
and securely accept the latest innovation in payments. To that end,
First Data (NYSE: FDC), the global leader in commerce-enabling
technology, today announced the expansion of its Clover platform
with the official launch of Clover Mini and Clover Mobile in the
U.K. The “all-in-one” business management solutions have enjoyed
broad adoption in the U.S. since they were introduced last year.
With Clover, business owners have the point-of-sale technology to
handle the daily challenges of running a business.
“We have been impressed with the popularity of both Clover
Mobile and Clover Mini in the U.S., with thousands of the devices
being deployed everywhere from quick service restaurants to major
sports arenas,” commented Michael Neborak, EVP, Head of the EMEA
region at First Data. “Today we are delighted to officially launch
these two cutting-edge solutions to U.K.-based business owners so
they can run their businesses more efficiently while accepting
transactions safely and securely.”
The Clover Mini and Clover Mobile devices utilize unique
cutting-edge technology that allows consumers to enter their PIN on
a tablet based, touchscreen device that is EMV® compliant and has
successfully completed common criteria evaluation against the JTEMS
POI Protection Profile. As such, Clover Mini and Clover Mobile are
among the very first devices to be approved with this technology
for deployment in the U.K. market and represent a groundbreaking
innovation in cardholder authentication.
Clover Mobile was created to sell on the move, whether
that be at a restaurant table, from a food van, at displays in
store or in a busy queue. Clover Mobile gives business owners the
power of integrated inventory management, accounting, analytics and
more – all in a hand-held device.
Clover Mini redefines the payment terminal, providing
business owners with a comprehensive solution to streamline
operations. Clover Mini operates with the same power as the
original Clover device, Clover Station®, in a much smaller package,
meaning business owners can access the same intuitive tools without
compromising on counter space.
Benefits of Clover Mobile and Mini include:
- Ability to accept multiple EMV credit
and debit payment types, contactless payments (including Android
PayTM and Apple PayTM) and Swipe (MSR)
- Manage tips and cash back
- Optional Bluetooth printer (Mobile
only)
- Front-facing camera that enables
barcode and QR code reading
- Wi-Fi, 3G or Ethernet (Mini only)
connectivity options
- 7" Antimicrobial Corning® Gorilla®
Glass display screen
- Touchscreen PIN entry for debit
transactions and touchscreen signature capture for credit
transactions
- Fully PCI PTS 4.0 certified, including
the Secure Reading and Exchange of Data (SRED) module
- Liquid silicone rubber surrounding
Clover Mobile provides additional product protection for improved
impact (drop) performance
As part of the Clover family, both Clover Mini and Mobile
provide access to the Clover App Market which allows developers to
create innovative apps for business owners. Apps such as
appointment scheduling, reporting and inventory management free up
small business owners’ time by simplifying and/or automating
tasks.
First Data first launched Clover Station in 2014 and it quickly
became one of the fastest-selling point-of-sale systems in the
world. It was introduced to the U.K. market in 2014 and is
available through First Data’s wholly-owned acquiring business in
the U.K. in addition to AIB Merchant Services and Lloyds Bank
Cardnet.
