The mPowa mobile payment service, which was announced earlier this year, is now available on Apple iPhone and iPad devices. Individuals and organisations that want to take credit and debit card payments can download the app and register their details to receive a plug-in card reader.

There’s no cost for the app or for the reader. However, unlike some competing services, users require a merchant account with a bank. Customers with a merchant account will just pay mPowa a 0.25% transaction fee on each payment; those without a merchant account can arrange one via mPowa, paying 2.95% per transaction plus a 25p charge.

Card payments are processed using the magnetic stripe, meeting the PCI Level 1 security standard, with a ‘Chip & PIN’ device planned for later this year.

At last, mPowa is live! This is a splendid solution for small business and one man bands especially in the UK. Many people just don't carry cash anymore these days making life very difficult for small businesses that don't take credit/debit cards. This is a great article but if you want to know more about mPowa go to http://www.mpowa.com/

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

ExclusiveKapture review: the audio-recording wristband

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.
