Mobile card machines
Mobile card machines for trading anywhere.
A terminal that works over a mobile network, so you can take a card payment on site, at the door or at a market stall.
Payment where the work happens.
For businesses that trade away from a fixed address, waiting for a bank transfer is a slow way to get paid. A mobile terminal lets you take payment at the moment the job finishes, while you are still with the customer.
Because these terminals use a mobile network rather than your broadband, coverage at the places you actually work matters more than anything else.

FAQs
Questions about this solution
What type of card machine does my business need?
It depends on where the payment happens. A countertop terminal suits a fixed till point, a portable terminal suits table or chair service within a venue, and a mobile terminal suits businesses that take payment away from a fixed site. If you take payment in more than one way, a combination is often sensible. The Ideal Merchant Service team can talk through which setup fits your day-to-day operation.
