Card Payments Acceptance Via POS/Imprinter
What is a POS terminal?
The POS terminal is an electronic device, which allows for an electronic transfer of funds from a bank account, or from a credit limit of the buyer (the cardholder) linked to a card, to an account of the seller (merchant) via reading of the data recorded on the bank card.
The POS terminal communicates with the servicing bank via a cable connection through the standard telephone networks or by a wireless connection through the GSM telephone network.
What is an Imprinter?
The Imprinter represents a device for taking mechanical prints of the personalized data, embossed on the bank card. This method of acquiring card data is applied in case there is no electronic channel between the merchant and its servicing bank.
The transfer of funds between the cardholder and the merchant is performed by the merchant’s filling in a sales slip and its dispatch, together with the card imprint, for processing to the servicing bank of the merchant.
How will the POS terminal support your business?
- Often the client does not dispose with cash at the moment of the purchase. Most of your clients, however, dispose with a bank card, which they carry along all the time. The POS terminal affords another way of payment and, thus, it will boost your sales.
- By using the card, the client has the possibility to shop using the entire disposable amount in the bank account, related to it and even his/her future receivables in case of an approved credit limit or an overdraft facility. It is established that the purchases by bank cards are higher in amount than those in cash.
- Apart from the client, the payment via a bank card is also more convenient to the merchant – the physical counting and giving back change is eliminated. There is also enhanced security of the payment – the danger of paying with counterfeit banknotes is avoided.
- Accepting payments via bank cards will improve your accounting – the servicing bank will provide regular, monthly (if necessary, weekly or daily as well) statements of the executed transactions.
- You will save precious time and efforts from the physical handling, transportation and depositing of the cash turnover at the bank – the money goes directly to the bank account of the merchant!
- Last, but not least, accepting payments via bank cards will make you a part of an ever increasing global community and it will give you an image of a merchant of significance, open-mindedness and responsiveness to the contemporary trends.
What are the relations between the bank and a merchant?
- In order to accept payments via bank cards, the merchant needs to sign an agreement with a licensed processing bank. Banks serve as intermediaries in the payment process between the client and the merchant. This is the case since the electronic transfer of funds between the buyer’s and the merchant’s accounts requires an authorization, clearing, settlement and accounting, while the issuance and acceptance of card payments is subject to licensing rights.
