Accept Credit Card – New To Cards
Plastic cards are one of the most popular forms of
payment in the UK Today with most consumers paying
for at least half their purchases with a debit or credit card.
More UK purchases are made each year using cards
than cheques and cash combined making it difficult for
businesses to reach their full potential without accepting
debit & credit card payments.
Why accept credit cards
Benefits of accepting cards are:
Offering your customers a choice
– people expect to be able to pay by card so if a customer leaves to get cash, they may not come back.
Impulse Buying / Trading Up
– if you only take cash, then your customer can only spend what they have in their pocket. If they can use their debit or credit card then they are not as restricted and will often spend more money or make an impulse purchase.
Improved Security for you and your Customer
– if you accept cards you can have less cash on the premises, also people don’t feel as safe carrying cash around with them anymore.
Gain a wider customer base
– card payments open up the option of taking payment by phone, mail and online.
Instant Authorisation and convenience
– no need to deposit cheques and wait for them to clear, funds are settled directly to your business bank account.
