SumUp

What it does

SumUp is a mobile payments and POS provider built around low-cost card readers (from roughly $30-$150) that pair with a smartphone or tablet app for accepting chip, contactless, and magnetic-stripe payments. Its POS app suite adds inventory management, reporting, a customer database, and marketing/rewards automation for merchants who want more than a bare card reader.
