Your questions, answered

You can accept all leading credit and debit cards from all card brands, along with digital wallets, such as Google PayTM and Apple Pay®. We also offer contactless payments, where your customers can tap their cards or smartphones for fast and secure payment acceptance.

No matter which merchant services provider you choose, you deserve to be treated with fairness and respect. Selecting a provider means knowing all your payment processing fees and funding options upfront — that’s why we provide clear disclosure of all rates, monthly fees, transaction fees, contract terms and even hardware options that won’t break the bank.

We also deliver your choice of pricing plans and funding options that work best for your business, growth and budget.

When choosing a small business credit card processing solution, keep these best practices in mind:

  • Prioritize security and compliance. Make sure the small business processor is PCI compliant and offers built-in security features like tokenization and encryption. Protecting your customers’ payment data helps you maintain trust and avoid costly breaches.
  • Support multiple payment methods. Today’s customers expect options — choose a small business payment processor that lets you accept flexible, modern payment options, like credit, debit, mobile wallets, tap-to-pay and online payments.
  • Evaluate customer support. Reliable customer support is crucial. Look for a small business credit card processor that offers responsive, knowledgeable support when you need it — ideally with 24/7 availability.

When you sign up to accept payments with us, you are opening a new merchant services account.

A merchant account is a bank account that enables small businesses to accept payments from your customers. It holds funds prior to them being transferred to your bank account. Ask your rep about our flexible funding options so you can receive your money faster.

While standard funding times are anywhere from 1 to 3 business days, you can get your deposits the next business day or even same day with our accelerated funding options. Ask your rep for details.

Providing top-notch security for your small business is a top focus, and we offer several security measures to help safeguard your debit and credit card transactions and payment card data.

We employ:

  • EMV® chip card technology that authenticates a consumer’s card
  • PCI-compliant end-to-end encryption technology, which immediately encrypts credit and debit card data as it is captured
  • Tokenization, which replaces card data with “tokens” and removes the credit card information from the equation, keeping your data secure

Some of our devices are also equipped with point to point encryption (P2PE) - where cardholder information is encrypted immediately, and remains encrypted until it is processed by the payment processor.

Finally, our Disputes Management tool empowers you to easily receive, track and respond to disputes — online, in real time, helping you to minimize loss and reduce costs.

Choosing the right small business point of sale (POS) system goes beyond just taking payments. It’s about finding a solution that supports the way you work, sell and grow. Here are some key things to consider.

  • Match the system to your industry needs. A restaurant has different needs than a retail shop or service business, so look for industry-specific features as you evaluate.
  • Prioritize ease of use. A good POS system should be intuitive for you and your staff, easy to learn and train on.
  • Think beyond the counter. Consider whether you’ll need a mobile POS, online ordering, curbside pickup or remote management tools. A flexible small business point of sale can help you meet customer expectations anywhere.

*Merchants on certain processing programs are not eligible for next-day funding; funding may be delayed by Global Payments Credit or Risk departments at any time. Ask your rep for details.

**Not all merchants or transactions will qualify for flat-rate pricing; additional fees may apply. Increases in assessments by card associations may apply.
