Posted: November 16, 2018 |
As we are going to enter in a new year, companies budgets and financial constraints may have changed for the forthcoming 12 months, and with the economy still showing uncertainty, business owners are looking to save money wherever possible and maximize sales opportunity. The popularity of card terminal machines is increasing and having this facility on your machine allows businesses to make the most from every sales opportunity whilst building customer loyalty. Experts from industry are predicting that in the next 18 months, 75% of all face-to-face payments will be made with a debit or credit card. It’s pivotal that your business adapts now, to accommodate your customers expectations. The UK Cards survey recently reported that there were 325 million purchases made using contactless debit and credit cards in 2016, accounting for 25% of all card payments in the mouth, this figure will only continue to rise. If you are a business owner and you are exploring the various types of card machines on offer but you’re not sure where to begin, don’t worry – Portable card machines are dedicated to delivering card payment solutions for companies big and small. Unlike other providers who act as an ISO, we are an independent terminal specialist, meaning we are that forefront of the industry when it comes to hardware and software developments. Let’s look at the type of the card machines available to customers. Portable Card Machine – This type of card machine is ideal for restaurant and nightclubs allowing a debit card terminal to be used remotely within a fixed location. The main benefit of the portable card machine is speed. The Payment Master’s card machine delivers a super quick payment method. Portable debit card machines provide flexibility within a business setting when a connection at the point of sale may not always be obtainable. Using a portable credit card terminal allows the base station to be connected to an IP/PSTN connection but the terminal will work completely remotely with a range of up to 100m. Countertop Card Machine – Sometimes referred to as a static card machine, this ever popular countertop machine is frequently used in a retail setting for the simple fact of its reliability. The countertop card machine conveniently connects through a PSTN. Mobile Card Machine – Mobile card machines are perfect for taking payments on the move – for trade fairs, markets, or anywhere that you don’t have a fixed phone/broadband line. Mobile card machines have a SIM card just like a mobile phone, so you can take the device out and about. The mobile terminal requires a phone signal in order for them to work. With so many different mobile providers across the UK offering different levels of coverage it’s impossible to say which would be most suitable.
