Automated debit card payment systems Coventry

Taking payments over the telephone
Do you take payment from customers over the telephone by credit or debit card, or would the ability to do so benefit your Coventry-based business?
For many businesses, taking credit or debit card payments over the telephone is done by asking the customer to read out their card details.
Increasing security standards
Tightening standards for PCI DSS compliance mean it will no longer be acceptable to take card payments by telephone from customers reading out their card details, however you process the payment, whether using a card machine or payment web site.
The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) becomes enforceable on and it is expected that shortly afterwards the card payment industry will require tighter security on card payments taken by telephone.
How this affects your business
This restriction creates a problem for small businesses that need to take payments over the telephone but do not have the resources to invest in an automated secure telephone-based credit and debit card payment system. It also creates an opportunity for you to get ahead of your competitors and introduce a secure automated payment system ahead of the rule changes.
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.

The payment system 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 allowing to take payments even while your business is closed.
