24-hour debit card payment solutions Killamarsh

Card payments by 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 Killamarsh-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.

Higher standards of security

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, whether the details are entered into 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 increased security creates 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 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.
