A New Way to Square Up

You know what's cool? Something innovative on the consumer level that blows you away. For me, one of those things is Square. It is a cashless payment system that allows individuals like you and me to accept credit card transactions. Wow! That's cool because so many of the purchases in today's society are cashless. As a personal example, I rarely carry more than $20 in cash on me and all of my payments are cashless. One problem I experience is when I want to pay someone but don't have the cash to do so. With Square someone could swipe my credit card and then, well, that's all there is to it. With each transaction both parties get an emailed receipt along with a picture and location of the person who processed the transaction.

I just received my card reader today. A small, square looking card reader hooks up to my phone through the headphone jack (crazy, right?!) and allows it to read credit cards. Check out the video showing how it works which inspired me to sign up:
