Online, June 14, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Federated Payments, a leading international provider of credit card processing and related merchant account services for independent business owners in North America, announced today that its industry-leading e-commerce solution, Safepay, is now available for Android phones.

Federated Payment's CEO, Jon Levitt, states, "This is the perfect solution for merchants on-the-go. Due to recent advances in technology, Safepay, our proprietary virtual payment gateway, has been available for our customers with iPhones for the past year. Now, with approximately 25% of all mobile phone owners using Androids, we have integrated this new application with Safepay to offer our customers added convenience while increasing our market penetration."

This application is the ideal electronic card payment solution for merchants who want the freedom to process anywhere there is a wireless connection (i.e. electricians, plumbers, contractors, limo drivers, etc.) Working in conjunction with Federated's Safepay payment gateway, there are two options available - a free, limited service version (Merchant Lite) and a more comprehensive version (MerchantPro) for a nominal $6.99 onetime fee. The application was developed by Three Aspen Software and both versions can be downloaded from the user's Android phone's application or market center.

Federated Payment's Safepay allows merchants to process credit card transactions safely via the internet. With a variety of options, you can tailor your SafePay account to your personal preference. Through Safepay's merchant control panel, one can access and charge customers' credit cards conveniently and securely.
