Ingenico Group said it will unveil its iCON case for mobile checkout next week at the National Retail Federation's Retail Big Show.

The iCON case will allow retailers, restaurants and hotels to check out customers from more remote locations, by adding a patent-pending magnetic case attachment to a mobile device that operates on the iOS or Android platform. 

"Whether you're a retailer trying to open up your space for better customer engagement or a restaurateur looking to make payments a more invisible part of the dining experience, mobile technology needs to be a large part of your strategy," Irfan Nasir, head of solutions deployment & development, Ingenico Group North America. "Ingenico's iCON case helps turn staff into customer service assets capable of engaging meaningfully with today's consumer and being ready to accept payment immediately at their point of decision."
