Merchant Services
- why you need to accept electronic payments.
Why open a merchant
services account?
It's a fact that businesses that accept credit/debit/checks have larger average tickets and greater annual revenue than businesses that don't. The more forms of payment your business accepts, the easier it is for your customers to give you money.
Three main factors determine how much you'll pay for
merchant services:
- The nature of your business (your industry type)
- The business's (and/or the business owner's) credit
history
- The amount of liability your merchant account provider is willing to assume for representing you to a clearinghouse.
With our merchant account options, you can process both
credit cards and online/offline debit cards. An online debit card, such as an
ATM card, requires your customer to enter a personal
identification number (PIN) in a PIN pad at the time of
the sale. Along with credit card processing services, these options
allow authorization
and deposit for most major debit cards. An offline debit card,
such as a Check Card, does
not require your customer to enter a PIN. Many times
these check cards are issued by your bank to automatically pull
funds. To accept an offline debit card, you handle it
just like a credit card.
With our featured standard
accounts you may use any of the following technology
options to process your payments:

processing solution for cell-phones or landline phones
with a small monthly fee and no yearly or annual fees click here
for info on the Touch-Pay solution. This service
is excellent for mobile, flea market, or
tradeshow merchants as well as any merchant that's
considered "small" and wants a
real merchant account that's also priced reasonably.
Wireless Terminal Services:
We feature two options for wireless swipe processing. The popular
"Way Systems MTT" Cellphone/swipe combination and the
"Nurit 8000" portable terminal. With these options you're able to enjoy lower transaction percentages due to your
customer's card being swiped while still having the freedom of a portable
terminal. Click
Here to find out more about both options.
Earn Additional Revenue with an ATM Machine in your
Establishment:
Having an ATM Machine in your
establishment not only increases the average amount that
visitors spend but it also allows you to earn additional
revenue in your physical location. Every time a customer
withdraws funds from an ATM Machine in your location you
receive a hefty percentage of the surcharge (typical
earnings are from $0.50 cents to over $2.00 per
withdrawal!). Some locations even qualify for free ATM
placement - where you pay nothing to receive the ATM but
still earn nice commissions each time someone withdraws
funds from that ATM in your location. -
