Mobile payment service iZettle, which enables businesses to accept credit and debit card payments via a smartphone, is now able to process Japan Credit Bureau (JCB) cards in the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Finland. The company says this makes it the first mobile payment solution in Europe to accept JCB cards.

Business owners will pay a 2.75% transaction fee for JCB cards, which is the same rate as iZettle charges for American Express, Visa, MasterCard, V Pay, Electron, Diners and Maestro payments.

Jacob de Geer, co-founder and CEO of iZettle, said “We’re proud to add JCB to our accepted cards for our card readers. Millions of Asian tourists visit Europe every year especially in the summer. Now tourists don’t have to worry about carrying cash and iZettle customers don’t have to turn business away.”

iZettle’s services are EMV (Europay, MasterCard and Visa) approved and are compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

We spoke to iZettle CEO Jacob de Geer at Mobile World Congress last year. You can listen to the interview (which starts after around 12 minutes) via the built-in audio player below.

37 years later and O2 UK CEO Ronan Dunne is facing another all-devouring monster... but this is no aquatic predator. It’s in the air - and it’s invisible.

No, we’re not talking about a Pteranodon (that’s Jurassic Park III) but a 4G mobile broadband connection. A real-life data monster.

ExclusiveTwitter promises that it will only use patents defensively

Mark Bridge writes:

There’s some kind of patent-related mobile technology story in the news most weeks. Whether this is the result of an innovation slow-down or the disruptive effect of newcomers on ‘traditional’ mobile manufacturers, there’s no denying it’s causing problems for many companies.

At the beginning of last week, Facebook and Instagram were the talk of the mobile industry. Was this billion-dollar deal the sign of another tech bubble?  Facebook’s fast track into mobile?  Facebook moving to cement its dominance of online photography?  You, the jury, decide.

Easter is often seen as a time for customs and rules – whether it’s giving up sugar for Lent or waiting until Sunday morning to eat your chocolate eggs – and this year the mobile industry seems to have joined in.
