The Benefits of Accepting Credit/Debit Cards

Improved Customer Relations and Reduction of Staff Time on Payments
  • Convenience
  • Reduce Employee Expense
    Reducing time spent on payment processing and collection means fewer employee hours and benefits you have to pay.
  • Fewer Service Calls
    Less on-site trips to turn off the utilities.
  • Lower Outstanding Receivables
    Obtaining timely payments means immediate revenue and better cash-flow management. No more 30, 60, 90-day or never account receivables on late payers.
  • Reduced Write-offs
    Payments are authorized in advance and on a regular basis.
  • Cost-effective Collections
    Receive payments on past-due amounts faster and with less internal time expended.
  • Improved Customer Service
    Less complaints from shutoffs. Most everyone carries and uses plastic.
  • Reduce Handling Costs of Checks and Cash
    Reduce remittance processing, lockbox fees, insufficient funds charges, billing and statement mailing, and collection agency fees.
  • Reduce Amount of Cash in the Office
    Lessen your risk of theft or injury for your employees.
  • Fewer Trips to the Bank
    We electronically direct deposit your credit and check card sales.

Reduce Staff Time on Payments
You might be asking how can accepting credit, debit, and check cards reduces the time your staff has to deal with payments and cutoffs.
  • Collect Now on Slow Payers
    Instead of letting them drag you out another 30 days.
  • Reduce Cutoffs
    Reduce the number of cutoffs your staff has to deal with daily.
  • Direct Deposit Your Card Sales
    You’ll be paid directly to your checking account at no extra charge in 1 to 3 business days. Direct deposit saves you time and you’ll get your money faster. Fewer trips to the bank and less cash on hand lowers your risk of robbery and break-ins.
  • No Checks to Write
    Fees will be collected directly from your account.
  • Daily and Monthly Reports
    Reconcile and manage your business the way you prefer.

Recovering Costs and Reduced Liability
  • Surcharge the Customer
    You can pass along the cost of card payment processing to your customer by having them pay a surcharge. I’ll show you how to do this.

    Or, consider the processing fee as an overhead cost and absorb the expense. Considering the savings and benefits you gain elsewhere, you should more than make up for the expense.
  • No Personal Liability
    Your account is guaranteed by the Entity and NOT personally by the Manager, Chairman, or Commissioners.
