Good morning Julie and everyone,

     Have you checked out Square Inc? One of the teams that operates some of
the meetings we attend uses Square Inc. to process credit cards. 
I believe their card reader must be connected to a smartphone or a tablet to
connect to the Internet in order to process the transactions. 
The neat thing about Square Inc is that if customers have an e-mail address
Square will send them a transaction receipt which can be read by screen
readers. The Square Inc Program also allows one to sign the customer receipt
using their fingers on a tablet. A number of our cab drivers also use this
service and from the customer's viewpoint it's very accessible. I can't say
much concerning accessibility where the merchant portal is concerned. This
is something to investigate.
