Vodafone Netherlands, the second-largest mobile operator in the country behind KPN, has committed to sell mobile POS (point-of-sale) devices manufactured by Adyen, a global payments company.

The ‘Adyen Shuttle’ converts smartphones and tablets – running Android or iOS – into Chip & PIN terminals. The product is pitched as a cost-effective, simple and fully secure mobile payment system within the reach of small and medium-sized enterprises.

“Business customers expect more from Vodafone than just a mobile device, competitive pricing and good network coverage. Our products and services are increasingly contributing to operational improvements and the implementation of new revenue models,” said Rutger van den Berg, category manager at Vodafone Netherlands. “With the Adyen Shuttle, our clients access a fast, simple and fully secure mobile payment solution at an attractive price.”

The Shuttle app links to the Adyen back-office, which provides insight into all transactions and process refunds, and create reports.

Adyen claims Shuttle is the first European mobile payment solution that accepts both debit and credit cards.
