Pay on the Go with SwitchPay Mobile Banking

The SwitchPay mobile payment processing application makes it easy for casinos to accept debit and credit card transactions. Best of all, you can conduct transactions via a number of mobile devices and smartphones including iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, and Android smartphones. Unfortunately, SwitchPay mobile banking can get tedious as it requires a lot of information along with a swiping piece which mounts to your mobile device.

Getting Started with SwitchPay Mobile Banking

With SwitchPay mobile banking, you can sign up quickly and easily. Simply fill out the online application. Then a member of the SwitchPay support team will verify and approve your information. From then on you can start accepting manually entered transactions immediately.

When conducting a transaction, you begin by entering your username and password directly from the application interface on your mobile device. Then enter the amount you wish to deposit in the casino. You then attach a swiping piece on the top of your mobile device. Next you swipe the card. Once you would like to cash out and receive payouts, SwitchPay promises that funds will deposit into your account within 24-36 hours.

Pros and Cons

Overall the concept of SwitchPay seems simple enough, but it requires a lot of tedious information that makes paying with SwitchPay more complicated than necessary. In addition, you require a swiping piece which mounts to your phone. It’s just one more thing you’ll have to carry around, and it seems the app doesn’t work without it. SwitchPay mobile banking also charges a 2.75% flat rate for swiped or manually entered transactions.

Unfortunately, this app only comes available in the American market which limits those who can use SwitchPay mobile banking as an option for mobile banking. In addition, it doesn’t seem widely accepted by online casinos. However, this may change as the mobile gaming industry continues to grow.

On the plus side, the app captures customer information, tracks transactions, collects tips and tax, and sends electronic receipts via email or text message.
