Automated credit card payment solutions Peterborough
Card payments by telephone
Does your business take credit or debit card payments over the telephone from customers, or would being able to do so improve your Peterborough-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.
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.
Tighter security on card payments is expected to be introduced shortly after the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) becomes enforceable from .
The problem for your business
This enhanced 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 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.
