Posted on February 9, 2011Blogging for HuffPost at Davos
I just came back from an amazing week at Davos. Prior to arriving and while I was there, I was a contributing blogger to the Business section of the Huffington Post. The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) annual meeting in Davos is one of the most exclusive events in the world and I am certainly aware of what a privilege it is to be invited. There were five posts that I hope provided some of the unique aspects of the meeting.
It is hard to know exactly the contribution each Davos meeting makes to the world – but I believe it is significant. It takes people out of their day-to-day routine and gets them talking to a diverse group of influencers from all over the world and all walks of life.
In “Three Wishes for Davos; Inclusive Growth, Support Entrepreneurship, Empower Women”. I offered my hopes for the conference in these three specific areas.
When I did arrive at Davos I had the pleasure of meeting and learning about some of the amazing entrepreneurs from the Technology Pioneers. Elisabeth de los Pinos was one of the most remarkable and I talked about what she is trying to accomplish in “The Rock Stars at Davos”.
Financial inclusion, one of my passions, was the subject of a number of sessions. In “Davos Hot Topic — Inclusive Growth Through Mobile Banking” , I covered some of the highlights and lowlights presented during the week.
I heard a number of success stories during the week, but none more inspiring than Brij Kothari and his PlanetRead. Hopefully, you will enjoy it as much as I did in “Davos — Bollywood Brings Literacy to Millions”
When the week was finished, I tried to sort out what I had seen and heard through the eyes of a Technology Pioneer. What I came up with was “A Technology Pioneer’s Top 10 of Davos“.
I encourage you to send me comments or questions on any of these blogs. Hopefully, they help form a small picture and set of insights into one of the most incredible conferences I’ve ever attended.

Posted on January 28, 2011Wireless/Mobile - Accepting Credit Cards on the Go
It was not that long ago that accepting credit cards outside of a store was a major pain. Lugging around a knuckle buster with a metal plate, sales slips, and other supplies was not terribly complicated...but could be a hassle. Let's not forget that you needed to call in to get an authorization, or you might be dealing with stolen or declined credit cards.
Today, that has all changed. With Wireless/Mobile credit card terminals that you can carry in your hand, wireless printers the size of a cigarette pack, and the ability to accept (and even swipe) cards into your iPhone or other smart phone, there is virtually nothing to carry around and the process takes seconds. It is also more secure. No sales slips with credit card numbers. Everything processed securely via SSL connections. All PCI compliant. Safety and ease for your customers, security and easy technology for you, the merchant. But, which method is best?
There are many options available to accept credit cards on the go. If you have a smart phone, that may be the most simple and efficient method. With a merchant account, app from your favorite app store, and optional swiper, you can literally be setup within a day or two. Many processors run special pricing. For example, Paybyweb covers the $50 cost of the app and the $79 cost of the swiper that fits over the iPhone. The newest apps even provide an area for the customer to sign their name, right on the phone. This may not seem like a big deal...but it is! Swiping and obtaining a signature provides a merchant with a retail/swipe fees which are considerably less than the fees for an Internet/Phone type acct. Fees for the retail acct range from 1.7% rather than the Internet average of 2.2%. For the smaller merchant, this may not seem like much. For merchants with high volumes, the savings can be significant.
For those not using smart phones, wireless credit card terminals, such as the Way Systems (now VeriFone) MTT 1510, 1581, and 5000 offer great features in a very compact pkg. Simply swipe the card into the phone, aim the phone at the wireless printer, and print the receipts.
A question that we get all the time..."How can we accept credit cards for our fundraiser?" We get this a LOT! The issue is generally that merchant accounts have a term commitment, usually 2 yrs. This is almost always the case. We at Paybyweb are the only provider that I know of that has answered the call. We now offer a special merchant account for one-time or short term events, such as fundraisers, trade shows, garage sales, auctions, etc. We setup the merchant account and provide the wireless terminal for use during the event, all with no fee to cancel once the event is over.
Regardless of the device or method you use, just get out there and make your sale! -
