Accepting credit cards used to be a high-cost and complicated endeavor, often involving the purchase or rental of those machines you see at the grocery stores.

You know the ones, where you swipe and then enter your pin.

Now, a company calledPayAnywhere is changing all that. They've developed a small device that works on a tablet and smartphone.

But rather than demand a minimum monthly fee as banks often do, the company charges a percentage per swipe and doesn't mandate a minimum.

That means it's affordable and it works as easily inside a small shop as it does outside at the State Fair or high school football game.

Want to know more? Get all the details from Marc Gardner, president & CEO of PayAnywhere. Watch the video now!
