Square Credit Card Readers coming to T-Mobile retail stores

T-Mobile USA has announced that the mobile operator is the first wireless carrier to offer Square credit card readers from San Francisco-based Square Inc. in select retail stores. The availability of Square card readers as an accessory in T-Mobile retail stores will make it easy for many small businesses to accept credit card payments for the first time. For those who haven't yet heard of it, Square allows small businesses to accept credit card payments in the U.S. by swiping a credit card through the Square dongle, which can be plugged into the end of a smartphone. The money from transactions sent for deposit into their bank accounts the next business day.

Commenting on the news, Matt Millen (vice president of small and medium business sales at T-Mobile) said: "The success of our small business customers is important to us. Formerly ‘cash only’ small businesses can now simply and cost-effectively accept credit cards with their smartphone using Square, giving them an easy path to growth. As these businesses evaluate their wireless needs, T-Mobile is committed to providing quality of service, cost savings and connectivity that are a requirement for their success."
