MEDL taps DoubleBeam to power mobile commerce
Leading Mobile App Development Platform Adds Mobile Payments Capabilities
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA (September 23, 2013) — MEDL Mobile, Inc. (OTCBB:MEDL), – a pioneer in the creation, development, marketing and monetization of mobile apps, today announced it is adding DoubleBeam’s mobile payments software development kit (SDK) to its award-winning mobile app development platform providing developers and users with mobile commerce capabilities.
DoubleBeam’s digital image capture and mobile based eChecking payments tool will allow MEDL to embed mobile payment capabilities into their current library of mobile applications as well as future applications developed on the MEDL platform. MEDL’s extensive network of apps, partner apps and client apps will soon have the ability to accept and process mobile payments within the existing mobile application.
“DoubleBeam shares our passion for creating innovative mobile solutions that leverage modern technology to create a more enriched customer experience,” said Andrew Maltin, CEO, MEDL Mobile. “Adding mobile commerce to MEDL’s menu of tools and services further empowers our team of strategists, architects and developers to create best in class solutions for ourselves and for our clients and partners.”
DoubleBeam is one of the first mobile payments technology providers to leverage mobile-based eChecking, and onboards users by simply taking a picture of a blank check and photo identification. Using this model retailers gain an 80 percent savings related to Interchange fees, and typically have access to funds in 24 to 48 hours. Consumers gain the convenience of paying for purchases with their mobile device, and earn exclusive rewards and savings.
“MEDL is recognized and praised for its innovative, visionary approach to mobile application development,” said Ted Tekippe, CEO of DoubleBeam. “We are looking forward to working with their team to bring mobile payments to their growing network of mobile apps.”
