24-hour debit card payment systems Swinton

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 Swinton-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.

Enhanced card payment security

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 25 May 2018, all personal data, including credit and debit card data, must be handled securely.

The problem for your business

This heightened security 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. Your business now has the chance to improve security when taking card payments ahead of the planned changes. You can use this opportunity to get ahead of your competitors.

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.

A secure payment system for your business

The card payment system we offer is telephone-based and specially created for small and medium-sized businesses. It can be bespoke to your business at a very reasonable cost. Your customers will hear prompts personalised to your business guiding them through making their payment.

The payment system is fully automated, taking payments from your customers at any time of day and night every day of the week 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. It is ideal for use both at your place of business and at exhibitions.

The payment system complies with PCI DSS level 1 security standards, providing you with an effortless way of complying with the new standards combined with the ability to take credit and debit card payments 24/7. It can be aligned with your existing in-house systems, including your existing merchant accounts and comes with a full report package.

PCI DSS compliance

If you take all your card payments using this credit card payment service and don't use a credit card machine of your own, you won't need to complete the annual PCI DSS compliance paperwork as it is this service that is PCI DSS compliant so your business doesn't need to be.

Even if you don't specifically need to take credit card payments over the telephone, this payment service offers the advantage of being fully PCI DSS level 1 compliant, removing the need for your business to comply with PCI DSS at all.
