Boston-based Paydiant, a mobile payments provider, announced its mobile payment software will be integrated into point-of-sales solutions from pcAmerica, specifically pcAmerica's Cash Register Express and Restaurant Pro Express. With the integration, any of pcAmerica's 50,000 retail and restaurant POS software users can now accept Paydiant-powered mobile payments and offers.

Paydiant said retailers in Colorado, Massachusetts, New York and South Carolina have already deployed the integrated solution.

"Retailers benefit from a retail POS system that is easy to use and enables cashiers to ring up sales fast and keep customer wait times short," said Chris Gardner, co-founder of Paydiant. "With Paydiant's mobile wallet and mobile payment platform, pcAmerica customers can offer fast, secure, mobile payments using any tender type. Payment processing costs go down while customer convenience and loyalty increase."

Paydiant is a white-label solution provider for mobile payments and offers. Banks, retailers and restaurants can deploy its mobile wallet capabilities into their own iPhone and Android applications. The platform is a software-only, cloud-based solution, so merchants are able to accept mobile payments through Paydiant's platform using their existing POS infrastructure.

"Mobile payments are the future, and that future is now for our retail and restaurant customers," said David Gosman, CEO of pcAmerica. "By integrating the Paydiant mobile payments solution into our POS offerings, we're offering our users a tremendous opportunity to differentiate the experience for their customers while increasing their operational efficiencies. It's a seamless transition that leverages their existing POS investment."

Paydiant's mobile wallet acceptance platform has been deployed in several U.S. regions in partnership with prominent card-issuing banks, merchant processors, point-of-sale providers, retailers and restaurants; the company plans to expand its footprint throughout 2012.
