Cash Discounts: Surcharges by Any Other Name?

Guest Author: Jim Daly January 1, 2019 Cash discounts are all the rage as merchants seek to lower payment card acceptance costs. But critics say cash discounts all too often are surcharges in disguise. Few topics last year drew more interest from independent sales organizations and merchant acquirers than cash discounts. Sessions about the pricing strategy were packed at several regional ISO trade shows. And while the number of merchants offering cash discounts isn’t many yet, salespeople in acquiring operations are eagerly peddling the comparatively new service. So what’s ahead for cash discounts in 2019? Supporters predict the tactic will draw more merchants increasingly fed up with paying what they say are high card-acceptance costs, especially for rewards credit cards.

Business Owners, Are You Ready for the NEW EMV Credit Cards?

What is EMV? “EMV is a technical standard for smart payment cards and for payment terminals and automated teller machines which can accept them. EMV cards are smart cards (also called chip cards or IC cards) which store their data on integrated circuits rather than magnetic stripes, although many EMV cards also have stripes for backward compatibility. They can be contact cards which must be physically inserted (or “dipped”) into a reader, or contactless cards which can be read over a short distance using radio-frequency identification technology. Payment cards which comply with the EMV standard are often called chip-and-PIN or chip-and-signature cards, depending on the exact authentication methods required to use them.” – More on EMV Renee VanHeel Talks about EMV.

To sign or not to sign?

Guest Blog Post by Account Manager Mick Collins The Credit Card industry has a bad reputation. Many sales reps of processing companies only care about locking your businesses into a lengthy contract that will only sweeten the deal for their commissions or end of year bonuses. To get that ink on paper, they will say or do almost anything just to get your signature. Free hardware, isn’t actually free A typical offering in the credit card processing industry is offering ‘free’ hardware in exchange for a 2-4 year (sometimes longer) contract. But here is what they don’t tell you. The cost of that hardware is recuperated overtime through the transactions costs and processing fees. So in essence, you’re still paying for your own hardware, and it was never ‘free’ in… Read More.
