Barclaycard Payment Acceptance

Making life easier for you and your customers

The last couple of years have been tough for businesses of all sizes and the signs point towards these challenging times continuing for businesses in Scotland.  Consequently, Barclaycard is working to make the services it provides to businesses as advantageous as possible, in order to help businesses manage payments as simply, securely and efficiently as possible.

Benefits of card payments

For businesses of all kinds, accepting card payments offers an improved management of cash flow.  As opposed to chasing around after payment of invoices, businesses have an agreed time-frame in which they will receive the funds after a transaction has been processed.  This gives the manager of a business or the finance department a complete picture of the businesses’ cash flow situation.

Card payments also offer enhanced security for merchants and customers due to the reduced amounts of cash kept on site.  The Chip & PIN system has also had a dramatic impact over the last four years in reducing fraudulent activity on card transactions on the high street.

And if you haven’t been accepting card payments before, it’s so easy to get going. Barclaycard provides easy to set up and cost-effective acquiring packages for SME merchants.  SMEs can literally get a “terminal in a box” and be up and running in no time at all.

Getting the most from card payments

Accepting card payments, either in person or online, can make an enormous impact to sales and efficiency and can help your business grow.  The key is to make sure you find a provider who can offer you simple, reliable and secure solutions, as well as  value-add services, like contactless and rewards schemes. These packages together will make your business as attractive as possible to customers.
