PIN PAD |

As you will notice from the rate chart that the rates are different for debit and credit cards. The rates for debit cards are much lower than that of credit cards. Due to this fact it is very important that the merchant having face to face transactions should have pin pad to enable the customer enter the pin number. We have noticed that majority of merchants are not aware of this and they don't have pin pads. We at Merchants Group are able to supply a free pin pad to any business wishing to setup processing with us.

Merchants Group has developed a special rates program for car dealership. These rates are based on the volume of business charged on the credit cards. Please fax us at 713-981-5507 your present statement and let us give a no obligation analysis of the present cost with our proposed cost and your net savings. Some times Merchants are hesitant to provide the statement and ask for the "RATE". As the total cost is not dependent on one "RATE" and there are various other factors which make up the total cost the "RATE" is really irrelevant unless the whole picture is clear and is analyzed. It is just like asking for a price of a car and it is compared without knowing the options and additional equipment it has. |
