Berlin/London 19th Dec, 2012 - payleven, Europe's mobile payment pioneer, rolls out Android and launches the mobile payment app in the Google Play Store in Italy, UK and Poland. Previously, it was only available in Germany. The payleven Android app functions in the same way as the iOS application, allowing merchants to convert their smartphone/ tablet into a low-cost, easy-to-use debit & credit card reader with no monthly fees. The current version fully supports a range of the most popular Android devices including Samsung Galaxy Nexus, S2 as well as S3 and HTC One. Furthermore all payleven apps are setup to process cards with both the current Swipe and Sign and the upcoming Chip & PIN solution.
The way people pay is changing rapidly & Europe is at the cusp of a mobile payment revolution. payleven is aiming to redefine the highest standard for mobile payment applications by offering a mobile Chip&PIN; solution with the only fully compliant card reader to accept all major debit and credit cards and provide users with full fraud protection.

Payleven is now set to launch its best in class mobile Chip&PIN; solution in early 2013 with full compatibility of the world's two most popular mobile operating systems, iOS & Android†said Ian Marsh, Payleven UK CEO & co-founder.
