It's getting easier and easier to make and receive payments on-the-go as of late: iOS users can pick up Square dongles at a variety of national retailers, while those with Google Wallet-capable handsets can raid vending machines.

The company initially unveiled its scanning technology (via a private beta) as a tool...
Card.io, the toolkit for mobile app developers which lets users pay for items by holding their credit card up to the phone’s camera, is today launching a consumer-facing app. It’s something like Square, but without the dongle. It’s also not aimed at merchants, as Square is. Instead, the new Card.io applications, available for both iPhone and Android, are meant for person-to-person payments. Splitting lunch, borrowing money, paying for gas – that sort of thing.

Personal finance service (and TechCrunch Disrupt alum) Credit Sesame is launching its first mobile application today which gives users instant access to their current financial standing and their credit score.
