How Will This Benefit the Businesses We Serve?

• Stay competitive, meet customer demands– Almost every business accepts credit, debit and

gift cards. If they don’t offer this payment form, their customers might choose to visit a competitor that does.

• Reduce expenses– Card payments are much easier and faster to

manage than cash or checks. Accepting cards can increase sales, reduce operating costs and free up employee time to work on other projects.

• Manage cash flow– Given that the merchant’s daily deposits go

directly into their account, merchants receive money sooner and don’t have to wait for checks to clear.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Can I accept debit cards?– Yes. Merchants can accept almost any type of debit card in the marketplace. There

are two ways to accept debit cards. One is through the PIN debit networks, such as NYCE®. In this case, the cardholder enters his PIN to authorize the transaction. However, most debit cards also allow cardholders to route the transaction through Visa, MasterCard or Discover Network. In this case, the cardholder signs a transaction receipt for authorization instead of entering his PIN.

• Can I accept prepaid cards?– Yes, as long as that prepaid card is co-branded and issued through a major card

label (Visa/MC/Discover, etc.) or has access through a PIN debit network.

• What are my total costs for accepting cards?– The total expense, per month, will vary based upon the activity level of payments

accepted, equipment/software utilized and the adherence to best practices. Our relationship managers will guide you through best practices, which will help reduce your total expenses for accepting card payments. See your merchant sales representative for an analysis and estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• When do I receive money from card sales?– For Visa, MasterCard and Discover Network, funds are deposited

two business days after your equipment or software settles the transactions. The funds are deposited in gross, so that fees are not withdrawn from your deposit. For example, if you have $1,500 worth of sales today, you will see a deposit for exactly $1,500 in two business days.

• Since fees are not withdrawn from my daily deposits, how are my

fees paid?– Fees are paid once per month and are withdrawn directly from your

account at [FI Name]. You will receive a clear, itemized statement that shows the sales activity for the month, the daily activity and the costs for processing the transactions. If you have any questions about your statement, you can contact a relationship manager at any time. Just call 800.552.5828, Option 5, then press #. Or you can send an e-mail to: [email protected].

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What do I need in order to accept credit cards?– Traditionally, merchants have utilized Point of Sale (POS) terminals

for accepting card payments. Although this hardware is still prevalent in the marketplace, it may not be necessary, depending on your business needs. Many merchants accept card payments without hardware, by using software, e-commerce gateways and other technology. Consult with a dedicated Merchant Sales representative to determine which solution(s) make the most sense for your business.

• Can I get these solutions directly from you?– We can provide all of the solutions your business needs to accept

card payments, whether you need hardware or not.

• If I need to contact someone for support, who do I call?– You can contact a relationship manager at any time. Just call

800.552.5828, Option 5, then press #. Or, you can send an e-mail to: [email protected].

by calling 800.552.5828, Option 5. Or, send an e-mail to:

management team directly, with or
