ROAM Data’s mobile card readers have been chosen by more Merchant Service Providers than any other based on its quality, security and compatibility resulting in the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

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.
