Spark Compass

Spark Compass delivers mobile, curated, personalized experiences to the right person at the right time and place. Put simply, it is about accepting cards, bank transfers and wallets online or in person.

It makes the most sense for any business that takes money. They also list Big Data, Hardware, iOS, Location Based Services and Mobile Payments, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small product team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Spark Compass is based in San Diego, California and founded in 2012. You can read more at sparkcompass.com.

Things worth asking about: rates, payout timing, chargeback handling, and developer tools. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.
