Telephone-based debit card payment solutions Aldridge

Taking payments over the telephone

Do you take payment from customers over the telephone by credit or debit card, or would you like your Aldridge-based business to be able to do so?

Many businesses take credit or debit card details over the telephone by asking the customer to read out their credit or debit card details.

Higher standards of security

Tightening standards for PCI DSS compliance mean it will no longer be acceptable to take card payments by telephone with the cardholder reading out their card details, whether the details are entered into a card machine or payment web site.

All personal data, including credit and debit card data, must be handled securely once the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) comes into force on 25 May 2018.

How this affects your business

This change leaves a gap for small businesses that need to take payments over the telephone but do not have the resources to invest in a full-scale secure telephone-based credit and debit card payment solution. Your business now has the chance to improve security when taking card payments ahead of the planned changes. You can use this opportunity to get ahead of your competitors.

As well as enabling you to take credit and debit card payments at your business premises, this is the ideal solution for taking credit and debit card payments at exhibitions.

Secure payment solutions for small businesses

We offer a telephone-based card payment solution specially designed for small and medium-sized businesses. It can be tailored to your business and at a very cost-effective price. It includes customised voice prompts, taking your customers step by step through the payment process.

The payment solution will take payments from your customers all day and night every day of the year without anyone ever having to read out their card details, therefore offering a considerable increase in security over manual payment methods and at the same time giving you 24-hour-a-day trading. It is ideal for use both at your place of business and at exhibitions.

As the payment solution is fully compliant with PCI DSS level 1 security standards, you not only get the ability to take credit and debit card payments all day every day; you also get an effortless way to comply with the new security standards. It can be aligned with your existing in-house systems, including your existing merchant accounts and comes with a full report package.

PCI DSS compliance

By taking all your card payments using this credit card payment system instead of having a credit card machine of your own, you avoid the need to be PCI DSS compliant yourself, which means you avoid the need to complete the annual PCI DSS compliance paperwork.

While your business might not specifically need to take credit card payments over the telephone, moving to a phone-based payment system means that you avoid the need for the annual PCI DSS compliance check.
