Ready did not reveal a product directly rivaling Apple ( AAPL ) Pay or Alphabet’s ( GOOGL ) Android Pay, but indicated new offerings are in the pipeline. Meanwhile, Square’s ( SQ ) capital and HR head, Jacqueline Reses, discussed the card-reader maker’s expansion of its business loan program. Right now the loans are only available to Square-using merchants, but she said that one day the loans will be available to merchants that are using payment processors other than Square. Other notable companies at the conference include Visa ( V ), MasterCard ( MA ), Vantiv ( VNTV ) and Samsung.
