What Are Merchant Accounts and Why Does My Business Need One?

Q:  What is a merchant account? 

A:  A merchant account is a type of bank account that allows businesses to accept payments by debit or credit cards. A merchant account also serves as an agreement between a merchant business (such as a retailer, cataloger, restaurant, service provider, etc.) a merchant bank and payment processor for the settlement of credit card and/or debit card transactions.  Some refer to this also as merchant services or merchant card services. 

Accepting credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover Card, Diners Card, etc.)  will help a business drive additional revenue and improve customer satisfaction. If you are not accepting credit and debit cards today you are missing out on revenue since these payment methods are part of consumers shopping habits.

What to Do With All of That Paper

Checks are to credit cards as compact disks are to mp3 files.  Both are currently in an awkward transition with different technologies taking main stage, but there is still a CD player in nearly every car sold…and people continue pay using paper checks.  Yes, checks are still a very important method of payment, but they are not the most secure.

This day in age, with printing capabilities well beyond those of the past, it takes much more than a keen eye to detect a fraudulent check. Paper checks can be risky business, so if you do accept them, make sure that you protect yourself using electronic check verification through merchant services with North America Bancard.

Electronic check verification
scans the checking account number and routing number of the bank that is printed on the check.  The funds are verified immediately, ensuring that you receive payment and not just a worthless piece of paper.  The check can also be processed at the same time through the use of electronic check conversion.  This essentially creates a “virtual copy” of the check which can be immediately sent to the bank. 

Electronic check verification is a security option that will save you the headache of discovering bad checks and never leave you questioning where your funds are.  Contact North American Bank Card now for more information on electronic check processing and setting up a merchant account that will secure your check payments.
