Blackbaud, a technology provider to the nonprofit and education sectors, has released a mobile credit card processing application to serve nonprofit organizations. Blackbaud MobilePay is available in the Apple App Store and the Android Play Store for nonprofits that use Blackbaud Merchant Services. Blackbaud clients receive up to two free MobilePay card readers, the company said in a news release.

Nonprofits project doubling their investment in mobile technologies this year, according to the release, and Blackbaud said it developed the mobile payment application with the unique needs of nonprofits in mind.

"Blackbaud MobilePay enables nonprofits to easily accept mobile credit card payments out in the field and during special events, while also improving the efficiency of processing, reporting and receipting," Steve Klein, Blackbaud's head of payment services, said in the release. "And, with Blackbaud's low processing fee and ease of built-in reconciliation, nonprofits can allocate more of their time and savings directly to their mission."

Scott Lenzi, director of Web applications and strategy for Partners Healthcare, said MobilePay went over well during the organization's recent golf tournament. "We not only raised more money, but we also made it easier than ever on our supporters and administrators — and impressed everyone by having an easy, modern payment option," he said in the release.
