FirsTech, Inc. Launches Mobile Payments to Complete their Capabilities Suite

CLAYTON, Mo.--()--On the heels of last month’s announcement highlighting business expansion plans, FirsTech, Inc. announced today the addition of a mobile payments offering completing their “circle of success” suite of payment capabilities.

Given the market emphasis on mobile, FirsTech partnered with Clients for several months to research and gather input around requirements necessary to make mobile a viable avenue for business success for their customers.

Considering input denoted around ease of use, streamlined set-up, demand from Gen Y, and most importantly security, FirsTech designed the platform to conform not only to the current Client’s needs, but also the anticipated future needs of the market.

“Our approach to new technology development has always been to gain input from our customers and couple that with our knowledge of the evolving market in order to ensure the two are aligned,” states Howard Mooney, CEO. “This approach has always yielded a more viable business offering.”

“With the initial launch of the solution, we already have a number of Clients leveraging the mobile option within their payment service offering to their customers,” adds Karen Gilhooly, Executive Vice President. “We believe this is an indication of the market demand for the “right” mobile platform.”

Unlike other mobile solutions, with FirsTech’s platform, the end-user’s payment information is never transferred via the mobile device itself, merely accessed behind the scenes via a unique authorization code delivered by text for each transaction. As a result, many of the security issues that have prohibited mobile adoption to this point are alleviated, giving FirsTech’s Clients a viable, inexpensive, and cutting edge alternative to enhance their services to their customers.
