About

History:

WAPPoint was the first Company in the World to invent a Cell Phone Credit Card Processing System using WAP Technology. This created a doorway towards Mobile Point of Sale Solutions. The Technology has since been upgraded and operates faster than the original systems.

WAPPoint was initially conceived whilst watching an informal businessperson struggling to explain to a client why he couldn’t accept a credit card as payment. The thought of allowing every merchant, be they big, small, mobile or office based, the ability to utilize this form of payment struck home. That, together with the realization that it would not only increase the merchant's potential but also the cardholder's convenience is what created WAPPoint as a solution for small to medium sized enterprises. On this day, December 10, 2000, WAPPoint was born!

Our Mission:

Our Primary goal is to allow every business the same opportunity to enjoy the convenience of credit cards, be they informal merchants or large corporations. Each business deserves the same opportunities to increase its business potential easily and efficiently. No matter how small or large your company, at WAPPoint there’s always a place for you.

Whilst consumers carry less cash and fewer merchants accept cheques, WAPPoint, as a leading mobile payment facility, allows the merchant to accept a credit card payment anywhere, anytime. This increases the merchants’ probability of a sale and hence their turnover. The fact that every transaction conducted via WAPPoint is immediately verified with the appropriate financial institutions, limits the possibility of fraudulent card use. Merchants are provided with instant feedback when they conduct a transaction. Any merchant that subscribes to WAPPoint can have access to a Web-based Back Office via which they can query their transaction history, reconcile their accounts and manage their subscription.

We help businesses increase their turnover. WAPPoint is founded on the belief that everyone should have equal opportunity when it comes to increasing their revenue stream and trying to counter the discrimination, which takes place in our marketplace, e.g. allowing only the large businesses access to credit card payments. With WAPPoint everyone has the same opportunity. We will therefore continue to enhance our product, making it simpler, faster and more user friendly whilst listening to and incorporating the multitude of suggestions from our valued clients. The growth of WAPPoint comes from not only meeting, but exceeding the expectations of these special people.
