Not to get way off the point, but Credit/Debit card processing on a POS (point of sale) terminal only requires a very slow modem like connection. It can be done over standard GSM data, doesn't even need GPRS, never mind 3G.

you're talking about sending about as much data as 4 or 5 lines of simple text. There's nothing particularly sophisticated about the data communication requirements.
