and ensure security, rapid deployment and low risk/TCO. The main markets will be large supermarkets and fast-moving
consumer goods stores (FMCG), but can also be implemented in every kind of retailer around the world. By using this
technology every retailer can immediately benefit from mobile shopping and checkout, while still supporting any current or
future checkout features like payment options or loyalty schemes.
YouBeep focus is to become a worldwide known brand and identified everywhere, as Visa and MasterCard are in card
payments nowadays, no matter the store size or the country you are, the service is there available for you. The support of
