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.
