Harland Financial Solutions has offered financial institutions limited ATM and point-of-sale debit support for some time, but its clients had to look elsewhere for merchant, credit card and fraud-prevention services. Now they don't have to.

Many companies are seeking fresh ways to use mobile phones to add functionality and security at ATMs.

VeriFone is making good on its original promise to open up its Square-like mobile card reader, Sail, to developers.

Google Wallet is under increasing pressure — though the mobile wallet has been in consumers' hands for over a year, Google still has fewer issuer partners than its rival Isis, and with the Merchant Customer Exchange wallet on the horizon, Google now faces competition from the very retailers it seeks to attract.

AT&T has agreed to sell Square's smartphone-based card readers in its 1,000 company-owned retail stores.

Adding payment acceptance to a website could be as easy as embedding a YouTube video or sharing a link on Facebook.

Apple's iWallet is much anticipated but, due to Apple's notorious secrecy, still very hard to picture. A new patent lends some slight clarity to the company's mobile-payment vision.

Isis, the mobile-payment joint venture backed by AT&T, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile USA, is on track for a debut in September, following months of delays and a change in strategy last year.

Total System Services is furthering its European growth by opening a financial services support center in Milton Keynes, UK, through its TSYS Managed Services EMEA joint venture.

USA Technologies has added a Web service called QuickConnect, which helps developers and original equipment manufacturers use the vendor's ePort Connect platform for accepting card payments.
