Verifone
Is This Your Business?0.0
Founded in 1981 in Honolulu, Hawaii, Verifone was originally meant to provide a resource to retailers who were given back checks by customers. Soon after, founder William Melton saw the potential for a shift that has made Verifone Point of Sale (POS) one of the leading providers for payment processing and commerce solutions. Instead of being used for verifying check, this solution was used for electronic payment and credit card processing and subsequently officially joined the POS solutions industry.
