You know how powerful a tool of accepting credit cards can be for the growth of your business. There is no need for me to say anything more than the fact
that businesses that have not accepted credit cards in the past have
increased sales by 40% or more the first few months they let the public
know they were accepting Credit and Debit Cards.
The cost of accepting Credit Cards is minimal compared to the vast positive acceptance you can have on your profits! The bank charges a discount rate based on your firms volume of the sale amount for
Retail (In Person) transactions. When you do not have the Credit Card (Phone, Mail Order or Internet) you are charged more than the swiped retail rate. Today all credit card sales must be through electronic means. Electronic Terminals or Software processes the monies to go into your account within hours. A transaction fee is charged for each terminal transaction, .25 retail and .30 for mail order.
The processing bank sends monthly statements each month showing all Credit Card activity. There is a monthly statement fee and a one time application fee.
The equipment needed to process Credit Card transactions are electronic
terminals or the bank software programs, which can be purchased outright or on
a lease purchase plan for 48 months. The equipment you need is determined by how you would accept credit cards. Lease purchases can range from $25.99 to $69.99 per month. All costs are 100% tax deductible as a business expense.
Checks by Phone, Check/ATM Debit, Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT),
ATM Machines, Equipment, Supplies and Accessories, Gift Cards and Check Guarantee Services are also available.
