    Default Iphone Eftpos

    Just saw it on tv you plug a paypal swip device in your iphone and customers can pay on the spot. The device is sent free from Paypal..

    I notice that the article is from April 2010. Is it up and running yet and what costs are associated with it? Being from one of the big four banks it will probably cost and arm and a leg.

    this a first step to a cashless community , years down the track or probably sooner we will have that ability to buy anything using the phone ..at present we have kaching on the i phone for commonwealth bank and you can use it at selected outlets to pay , just just tap the phone and paid away ya go..... so customers and such will be next

    I have to disagree. I think that people will love the convenience of not having to have cash on hand and as a contractor you should have no more payment issues.

    With commonwealth bank you can now from there app put it in fronnt of a eftpos machine rather than your atm card and pay for items. With anz if you have someones mobile number or there on your faceboo and they have it set up like i do you can send them money with there phone number or facebok account. Yet still you cant get some customers to pay and they come up with a million and one excuses.

    Anyone sign up for the iPhone paypal credit card facility. I did, i received my strip in the mail the other week, haven't used it yet. I saw on the news tonight another credit card facility for iPhone's and Android's, paymate, anyone tried this one either.
