Hypercom’s Mobile Solution was selected in head-to-head competition with other global payment providers. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Avant-Garde will market the M4230 mobile terminal with Hypercom’s Mobile Network as an affordable bundled solution that increases businesses’ revenue by enabling them to extend their payment acceptance reach beyond fixed locations.
