"This newest version of Nomad continues our company's commitment to deliver the highest degree of quality, reliability, and security that our global customers demand. We believe the innovations and vision encapsulated in this product will prove very appealing to mPOS solution providers and users alike."

Nomad 2.0 is designed to flexibly support multiple card-present payment method options, including debit, credit, gift and loyalty card transactions through both magnetic stripe technology and EMV Chip-and-PIN functionalities. The device employs patented encryption technology, and provides the option to connect to a mobile device through secure Bluetooth or a USB port. Nomad 2.0 is compatible with Android, iOS, Windows 8.1, and Windows Phone 8 operating systems.

Mobile POS solutions incorporating AnywhereCommerce products have been deployed by such customer-facing giants as Delta Airlines and Bank of America, as well as a host of other merchant services providers, financial institutions, and merchants of all sizes across the globe. The company holds patents on a number of mPOS technologies, including the use of the audio jack input of a mobile device for payment transactions and the encryption of mPOS transactions.
