First Data Chairman and CEO, Frank Bisignano and Clover Founder,
John Beatty, joined First Data Executive Vice President, Head of
Latin America, Gustavo Marin and General Manager, Argentina,
Patricia Guarnes at the Faena Arts Center in Buenos Aires to
announce Clover’s launch in Argentina.
Supported by the Clover platform, business owners using Clover’s
next-generation payments technology can take control of their
businesses in real-time over an online backend portal, a merchant
web dashboard that can be accessed at any time from a smartphone,
tablet, or computer. The portal allows merchants to monitor
transaction status, view receipts in an online archive, and make
configuration changes remotely. The products target small and
medium-sized businesses.
First Data’s first two Clover devices available in Argentina are
Clover™ Mini and Clover™ Flex smart terminals. Clover is offered in
Argentina in tandem with two software solutions: Sistema de Pagos
(includes Employee Management, Customers and Reports), Punto de
Ventas (Order, Inventory and Fiscal Printer), and is already
integrated with the Argentinian market leader fiscal printer
(Hasar).
Clover’s business management functionality also assists with
creating orders, tracking inventory, customizing staffing,
enhancing customer engagement, and performing back-office tasks.
Clover additionally offers access to a third-party app market,
connecting merchants with applications designed to simplify daily
business tasks and support functions that are critical to business
owners. The apps can sync with accounting programs, optimize
employee management, elevate customer loyalty, and more.
"We are proud to launch Clover’s innovative payments technology
in Argentina,” said Chairman and CEO, Frank Bisignano. “We have
watched the Clover platform grow rapidly across the U.S and in
Europe, and this is another great step forward for First Data in
our goal to empower businesses in all regions around the world with
the most innovative payments technology to help them grow.”
“Today we are delighted to launch two of Clover’s most popular
solutions here, making the next generation of payments technology
available to our clients,” said Executive Vice President, Head of
the Latin America, Gustavo Marin. “Argentina is our main growth
engine in the region and one of the early non-U.S. countries to
activate Clover. We see significant potential for the product to
succeed here.”
At Clover’s launch in Buenos Aires, First Data customers – among
retailers, banks and influencers - could test the products'
functionalities first hand.

access the same intuitive tools without compromising on counter
space. Clover Mini provides merchants with:

barcode and QR code reading

customer. Compact enough to be a handheld device, Clover Flex makes
it easy to accept payments in-line, at the table, on the shop
floor, or in the customer’s home. Features include:
- Scan Reader - barcode scanner and
camera
