Cheap and simple credit card processing system to launch 2010 (via @springwise)

By Leslie Hughes | December 10, 2009

Hold onto your hats fellow entrepreneurs. There’s a new processing system in town….

Rolling out in 2010 in the US, Square will use a plastic device that plugs into a mobile phone’s audio input jack. Their system will accept payment cards without contracts, expensive hardware, and monthly fees.

According to a report in the Los Angeles Times:

Cost for the reader devices = free
Application = $1 USD

Helping entrepreneurs with their bottom line? PRICELESS…..
