SOUTH PLAINFIELD, N.J., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- CHARGE Anywhere® LLC, a leading provider of secure mobile payment solutions and payment gateway services, announced today the release of CHARGE Anywhere for Android(TM), the first PCI PA-DSS validated Payment Application enabling Android(TM)-powered mobile phones to become card payment acceptance devices. It is now available through Android Market(TM) and at www.chargeanywheredirect.com.

Stressing the increased merchant demand for mobile payments processing, CHARGE Anywhere's President and CEO, Paul Sabella, said, "CHARGE Anywhere is positioned perfectly to enable mobile card acceptance and mobile payments with the imminent Android(TM) OS growth within the mobile phone marketplace. With T-Mobile® offering G1(TM) and myTouch(TM) and Sprint® offering HTC Hero(TM) Android(TM) smart phones, and Verizon Wireless® entering the market, Android is reshaping the mobile phone industry. As a leading provider of mobile payment applications and technology, CHARGE Anywhere immediately seized the opportunity to enable secure mobile payments on this revolutionary platform."

CHARGE Anywhere's mobile payment software and payment gateway solutions are supported by all major card processors allowing for seamless integration with your merchant account provider. Merchants can boost the power and efficiency of their mobile payments solutions by enabling back-office systems integration to accounting applications, such as QuickBooks®.

With a touch screen interface, CHARGE Anywhere® for Android(TM) enables merchants to quickly, easily and securely accept credit and debit card transactions at the point-of-sale or point-of-service -- anytime, anywhere. The software supports optional hardware such as a Bluetooth® printer with integrated card reader, which results in merchants paying the lowest possible credit card processing fees. Receipts can also be printed on the spot, while electronic signature capture eliminates the requirement for merchants to retain paper copies of signed receipts.

"A suite of APIs allows Independent Software Developers the opportunity to extend their applications and services with fully PCI compliant, brandable mobile card payment solutions," said John Coloe, VP of Corporate Development at CHARGE Anywhere.
