Hip to be Square – Mobile Payments Phenomenon or Hype?
What is the real deal with Square? Will it be a break-out mobile payments phenomenon or is it all hype? Here’s some more info from ISO & Agent. This great article in one of my favorite publications explores some uncharted territory with comment from both Visa and MasterCard. I’m quoted – check out the article titled “Twitter Vet’s ‘Square’ Payment System Is Hard To Peg” on the payments industry news page on Double Diamond Group.
The most interesting subject is whether they can get approved as a merchant aggregator. This is far from certain, especially given the response in the article from Visa and MasterCard. Of course, with the pedigree of twitter founder Jack Dorsey, anything is possible. It will be fun to watch it play out.
