Mobile payment solutions provider Square has announced that it has acquired photo sharing app developer Viewfinder. The firm said that the Viewfinder team’s expertise in building mobile applications will help its mission “to make commerce easy for everyone”.

The Viewfinder team will work on seller initiatives out of Square’s New York office, the firm said. They will help expand the mobile payment firm’s presence in New York and will help Square achieve its goal of tripling the size of its engineering team in the city within the next year.
