ROAM has sold the highest number of encrypted mobile readers in the world in 2011 with more than 400,000 units to its growing list of customers including companies like Intuit, North American Bankcard, Sage Payments, NPC, Total Merchant Services, First Data, Chase Paymentech, Global Payments and others.
