Telephone-based credit card payment systems Gloucester
Card payments by telephone
Does your business take credit or debit card payments over the telephone from customers, or do you want to be able to do so for your Gloucester-based business?
Current practice for many businesses taking credit card payments over the telephone is to ask the customer to read out their card details.
Higher standards of security
Tightening standards for PCI DSS compliance mean it will no longer be possible to take card payments over the telephone with the cardholder reading out their card details, regardless of whether you enter the credit or debit card details into a card machine or payment web site.
Tighter security on card payments is expected to be introduced shortly after the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) becomes enforceable from .
The problem for small businesses
This tightened security leaves a problem for small businesses needing to take card payments by telephone but without 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.
Secure payment systems for small businesses
Our telephone-based card payment system is 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 making their payment.
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, which gives vastly-increased security over manual payment methods and at the same time extending your business hours. It is ideal for use both at your place of business and at exhibitions.
As the payment system 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.
