Automated credit card payment solutions Wolverhampton

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 Wolverhampton-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.
Changes to card payment security
PCI DSS is being tightened up, meaning it will no longer be acceptable to take card payments by telephone from cardholders who read out their card details, regardless of whether you enter the credit or debit card details into a card machine or payment web site.
From , the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) becomes enforceable and it is expected that the card payment industry will shortly afterwards enforce tighter security on card payments taken by telephone.
How this affects your business
This restriction 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. 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 solution for your business
We offer a telephone-based card payment solution specially designed 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 the payment process.
The payment solution takes payment 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 giving you 24-hour-a-day trading. It is ideal for use both at your place of business and at exhibitions.
As the payment solution 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.
PCI DSS compliance
By taking all your card payments using this credit card payment system instead of having a credit card machine of your own, you avoid the need to be PCI DSS compliant yourself, which means you avoid the need to complete the annual PCI DSS compliance paperwork.
While your business might not specifically need to take credit card payments over the telephone, moving to a phone-based payment system means that you avoid the need for the annual PCI DSS compliance check.
