1st National Processing, a merchant of credit and debt card payment processing services, has launched Mobile Merchant Pro line of credit card processing applications for mobile phones. The Mobile Merchant Pro debut includes solutions for the iPhone and iPodTouch in addition to a free BlackBerry mobile payment application.

Mobile Merchant Pro is a point of sale application that allows mobile merchants to process credit cards real-time on their mobile phones. With support for both Authorize.Net and PayPal Web Payments Pro, merchants have a choice by using their existing payment gateways, or use one provided by 1st National Processing.

These mobile solutions were created to address the credit card processing needs for consultants, contractors, photographers, plumbers, locksmiths, livery drivers, insurance agents, tradeshows, and the Arts & Crafts vendor communities.

Michael Di Giovanni, president of 1st National Processing, said: “The iPhone and BlackBerry solutions are just the beginning for us and I’m excited about the value we’ll be passing on to the mobile merchant community. As for our Free BlackBerry solution, it’s a great way of supporting our existing customers and serves as a terrific introduction to those who aren’t yet familiar with 1st National Processing.”
