Today, we’ve launched the FeeFighters Card Terminal, an iPhone application that provides businesses with credit card acceptance capabilities in virtually any location.  The FeeFighters Card Terminal is the first iPhone app of its kind to be completely free and provides complete freedom of choice in credit card processor selection.

Previously, the cost to download an iPhone app for processing was as high as $50 per device. Also, most apps require the user to contract with a specific processor, introducing the complication of multiple invoices and risk of unexpected price increases. FeeFighters Card Terminal offers businesses the ability to introduce or test mobile card acceptance without the fear of wasted cost or unwanted commitments.

Since you can use your iPhone as a terminal, leasing or buying a terminal is not necessary, meaning businesses that just want to test accepting credit cards can do so without worrying about terminal acquisition. This translates directly to potential savings of hundreds of dollars per point of sale.

We think the mobility and convenience of the iPhone makes it an ideal mode of payment acceptance across a broad range of industries. Businesses that download the FeeFighters Card Terminal have multiple processor selection options:

• quickly configure the app to use an existing processor of choice, regardless of whether that processor is part of the FeeFighters network
• instantly set up a new merchant account with a competitive, pre-negotiated rate plan offered by a FeeFighters Certified processor
• secure the lowest rates by having the full network of FeeFighters Certified processors competitively bid against each other, quickly and confidentially.
