Telephone-based credit card payment solutions Glasgow
Taking payments over the telephone
Do you take payment from customers over the telephone by credit or debit card, or do you want to be able to do so for your Glasgow-based business?
Many businesses take credit or debit card details over the telephone by asking the customer to read out their credit or debit card details.
Increasing security standards
PCI DSS is being tightened up, meaning it will no longer be possible to take card payments over the telephone from customers reading out their card details, whether the details are entered into a card machine or payment web site.
With the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) on , all personal data, including credit and debit card data, must be handled securely.
The problem for your business
This enhanced security creates a gap for small businesses needing to take card payments by telephone but without the resources to invest in a full-scale secure telephone-based credit and debit card payment solution. It also creates an opportunity for you to get ahead of your competitors and introduce a secure automated payment solution 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.
