Éire Abú – payleven launches payment service in Ireland
payleven is now active in eleven countries in Europe and South America
Dublin / London / Berlin, 17/03/2015 – payleven, Europe’s leading mobile
payments company for small and medium sized businesses, announces the launch
of its 11th market. Irish business owners can handle card payments as of today
without fixed costs, contractual obligations or minimum sales through payleven’s
Chip & PIN card reader. As a gift for all Irish business owners, payleven offers an
exclusive introductory price of 64 EUR for the card reader.
Konstantin Wolff, founder and CMO of payleven says: “It is our aim to deliver
easy-to-use and smart technology solutions that help our customers to enhance their
business. Ireland has a huge market potential with a large number of businesses that
still don’t accept card payments. With a smartphone penetration of over 60% and
more than 6 million debit and credit cards in circulation, we see a strong need for our
affordable solution.”
Hailo, a successfully operating e-hail app company, offers payment solutions by card
with payleven’s Chip & PIN card reader in Ireland since January 2015. More than
500 taxi drivers are currently using the device in the United Kingdom.
Niall Jackson, Hailo Operation Analyst: “payleven affords Irish taxi drivers a
seamless method of integrating card payments into their working lives, benefitting
customers in turn by ensuring they can choose from a wide variety of payment
methods. We at Hailo appreciate the launch of payleven in Ireland, furthering SMEs’
ability to support card payments."
There is a high demand for secure mobile and no-fee based payment solutions in
Ireland. Nationally, the most common limitations of using mobile payment services
are related to security. With payleven’s EMV – and PCI approved Chip & PIN card
reader, businesses can guarantee their customers the highest security standards.
Beyond card payments, payleven answers customer questions and concerns in all
branch languages, by native speakers. It offers premium customer service via
phone, email and live chat.
With a pay-as-you-go pricing model, the payleven solution is tailored towards the
needs of small and medium sized business owners. payleven aims to make card
payments accessible for everyone, working with retail partners including trusted
brands: Staples, Sally Salon Services and Metro Cash & Carry. Furthermore, the
solution offers handy extra features such as real-time sales statistics and the ability
to print or email customer receipts, anytime.
