Announced Thursday at an event in San Francisco, PayPal Here is set to go head-to-head against mobile payment pioneer Square for part of the small business pie.

Much like Square, PayPal Here will have a card reader that plugs into your mobile phone via the headset jack on your handset. While Square’s reader comes in the form of a white square device, PayPal’s will instead be a blue triangle. The encrypted reader will be available for free to small business owners and can be used to accept credit card payments.

Young Money Launch  Credit Card

Lil Wayne & Young Money are Releasing Prepaid Discover Cards

Lil Wayne’s label is moving forward with plans to release a line of credit cards, this time through ACCENT InterMedia.

 Young Money Entertainment has announced plans to release the Young Money Prepaid Discover® Card that can bee purchased online at www.youngmoneycards.com.

The concept for the Young Money Card was developed by Horace Madison, founder of Madison Strategic Integration and business manager for Lil Wayne and Young Money, along with card-veteran Buddy Smith.

“We’re excited about giving people who may not have access to traditional banking accounts the convenience of plastic,” said Madison in a statement.

Wayne wants to keep it simple and sleek, but load it with benefits that are meaningful to Young Money cardholders.”

Tim Clark, CEO of ACCENT also released a statement saying,

“Young Money artists have such a strong following, as demonstrated by their 50 million and growing fan count in social networks.  We are excited to be working with such a powerful brand.”

Makers of the card boast that they’re keeping fees to a minimum and the card only has six fee types, including a $6.95 card purchase fee, with $3.95 monthly maintenance thereafter.

The program is also supporting charitable causes with a portion of the proceeds from every card sold to benefit non-profit organizations including Lil Wayne’s One Family Foundation.
