Why take cards?

If you don't currently accept credit or debit cards, consider the following.

Credit and debit card purchases represent over 50% of all transactions in the UK and is by far the most preferred method of payment today.

By enabling yourself to process card payments you are instantly opening your business to a whole new group of potential customers.

• More customers through your door - if they see their card is accepted, they're more likely to come in and spend.
• Having no cash restrictions means browsers can become buyers - customers can spend more.
• Larger impulse buying - increased turnover and profits.
• Existing customers find it easier to spend more, as they're no longer limited to just cash or cheques.
• Improved cash flow - as the money is in your account within 3 working days (faster than cheque payments)
• Speed at the point of sale, thanks to our electronic terminals.
• Less back office administration - so your staff can spend their time more profitably.
• Reduced cash handling for your staff - which means fewer opportunities for costly mistakes or staff dishonesty.
• Easier and more convenient for your customers.
