Our take

CardFlight partners with popular merchant acquirers to deliver payment acceptance software for small businesses and entrepreneurs. Its signature products, a mobile Point of Sale (POS) called SwipeSimple, and the countertop POS SwipeSimple Register have grown impressively in popularity across the US since the company’s 2013 launch.

The US is home to over 30 million small businesses, a potentially huge market. By offering software that allows them to turn a mobile or tablet into a credit card terminal, it’s easy to see why CardFlight is proving popular. Just as importantly, is that the company has a proven track record of launching products ahead of potential competitors.
