Controlling Your Brand Identity

Tuesday, July 6, 2010 by Joshua B
Paying attention to the little things can make a big difference.  All of the little things add up in the minds of your customers and differentiate your business from competitors.  A simple way to differentiate yourself and begin to build your company brand is by putting your logo on your receipts.  Sounds too simple right?

Including your company logo on receipts creates a professional look and develops your brand on an important "document" that the customer will most likely hang onto.  In addition to the marketing benefits, this creates a functional benefit too.  Your team members will more easily identify receipts during any returns or exchanges that they are processing and it will make fraudulent receipts that much more difficult to create.

North American Bancard can provide you with merchant account services that include payment processor software and devices with logo printing capabilities.  This is yet another benefit of work with us.  If you are looking for a merchant service provider that pays close attention to "the little things" that could turn out to be big thins, look no further than North American Bancard.  With point of sale systems from Magtek, Verifone, Hypercom and more, we can help you in a number of different applications.  Call 800-BANCARD or visit our website today.

Fast Processing = Happy Customers

Tuesday, July 6, 2010 by Joshua B
The equation is fairly simple.  All other things being equal, customers will be happiest and you will build the most loyal customer base if you provide services that go above and beyond your competitors.  This includes the ability to process their purchases quickly, efficiently and securely.  The time it takes to checkout each of your guest can say a lot about your business. 

An excessively long wait at the checkout certainly tarnishes the positive impression of your store, one that you have worked so hard to perfect.  Think about it.  Do you really want the last impression of your store, from those that have already shown they will purchase from you, to be negative?  Don't put the fate of your customer base in the hands of amateurs.  Call on North American Bancard to put together a customized plan which includes payment processor software and retail credit card machines that fit your specific needs.

We can help you keep your checkout lines short, even during peak periods by showing you efficient POS solutions and offering you best-in-class equipment from Magtek and Hypercom.  In addition to the fast processing capabilities, you'll enjoy low payment processing fees, the lowest in the industry, to help out your bottom line.

Scalable Payment Solutions For Your Business

Monday, May 10, 2010 by Joshua B
Whatever the size of your business, the ability to accept credit cards is essential to the success or failure of your business: retailer, restaurant other otherwise.  North American Bancard is well-versed in providing scalable solutions that help our clients accept electronic payments and utilize best-in-class payment processor software that fits their needs now and will grow with them.  In other words, we realize that one size (one package) does not fit all.

Many times we find that traditional businesses may wish to continue to utilize a traditional countertop terminal like the ones made by Magtek or Nurit.  Service businesses can really benefit from wireless credit card processing machines that service technicians take with them to the job site, completing the sales transaction at the time of service.  This is a great way to mitigate the risk of non-payment or late payment and keep your accounts receivable in good shape.

Since 1992, North American Bancard has been offering some of the lowest credit card processing rates in the industry to small businesses and large businesses, alike and we can help you too.  Visit our website or call 800-BANCARD to find out more today.
