Convenience Is Key

Monday, February 1, 2010 by Joshua B
It's true, customers value convenience nearly as much as the quality of your products or services.  The more you can ensure that the customer experience is pleasing and convenient, the better off you and your business will be.  One of the best ways to ensure a pleasing experience, especially at the checkout counter is by making sure that your credit card machine and your merchant services provider are living up to their responsibilities.

Do you consistently have issues with your merchant account connectivity?  Is your connection sometimes slow?  It may not be an issue with your internet provider.  It could be an issue with the card processing speed of your merchant service provider.  If that is not the issue, it may be an issue with the credit card terminal itself.

It may be time to begin looking for an upgrade, either in your credit card equipment or, perhaps, in your card processing provider.  North American Bancard is ready and willing to help you out.  Call 800-BANCARD or visit our website to find out more about each of our products and services today.


"S" Is For Simple

Monday, February 1, 2010 by Joshua B
It really shouldn't be complicated, should it?  Either your business has the ability to accept credit cards and make it convenient for your customers, or it doesn't.  With the use of credit or debit cards becoming even more prevalent among consumers, most businesses have added credit card merchant services as a payment option to their customers.  By now, most consumers simply assume that major debit or credit cards will be accepted at virtually all (if not all) of the places where they will be purchasing.  Where customers are won or lost is sometimes based on whether the checkout process was seamless, since this is the last memory that your customers will have in the store.

From mobile credit card terminals to the Nurit 2085 terminal, North American Bancard has solutions designed to simplify your card processing.  Our customer service team will work with you to ensure that the merchant service we provide fits your needs precisely.  Visit our website or call 800-BANCARD to find out more about our credit card merchant services.



Options, Options Everywhere

Monday, February 1, 2010 by Joshua B
We understand that we offer so many credit card processing options that it may be a bit overwhelming to try to figure out exactly what will work for you and your business.  Not to worry, the experts at North American Bancard are here to help.  Don't understand if you need mobile credit card terminals?  Should you purchase a device from Nurit or Hypercom? Would services from Authorize.net suit your specific web-based processing needs?  These are all good questions.  To get answers to these questions and many more simply call 800-BANCARD and we'll be happy to help.

Once we've figured out what merchant services and products you need, you'll be able to diversify the payment solutions and purchasing channels that you offer to your customers. By offering these additional options, you open new channels by which to sell your merchandise or services. For example, a traditional retail store can utilize Authorize.net in combination with an e-commerce website to extend their reach onto the web, offering their products to a worldwide audience rather than simply those within range of the brick and mortar store.  Whether you are just now adding the ability to accept credit cards at your location or looking for ways to continue to grow your credit card-based sales, look no further than North American Bancard.

Electronic Payments Make for Quick Transactions

Sunday, January 31, 2010 by Tyler D
One of the best ways for your business to gain extra income is by accepting electronic payments.  By offering your customers several alternatives to cash, you are increasing the convenience of payment for them and, therefore, they are more likely to purchase your products (...or more of your products). 

It seems that so many things have become computerized nowadays, especially within the payment industry.  Even checks can be accepted electronically!  The great thing is, this technology has become quite safe over the past few years...in fact, much safer than a paper system would be.

Many people, if they are like me, rely on online banking as their primary way to pay bills and keep track of their various accounts.  Due to this reliance,  it is only natural that individuals would expect the same from businesses.  A business that uses merchant services that allow them to accept electronic payments (especially card-not-present transactions) really have an advantage over those who don't.

Visit North American Bancard's website if you are interested in learning more about electronic payments.  We have a wide selection of products, such as the #1-Rated Online Payment Gateway/Virtual Terminal, Authorize.net, that will give your business the capability of tapping into new markets and providing convenience to your customers.

The Scoop on Card-Not-Present Transactions

Sunday, January 31, 2010 by North American Bancard Blogger

Stand Out with a Stellar Payment System

Sunday, January 31, 2010 by Tyler D
You want your customers to leave the store thinking, "that was easy," no matter what type of retail store you operate.  The process of shopping should never be stressful for the customer...unless of course it's just caused by an indecisive individual deciding between item "A" and "B".  From the time they walk into the store until the moment they leave with bag-in-hand, the customer should feel like their shopping experience is enjoyable and hassle-free.

One of the least favorite aspects of shopping for most people is paying...I mean, it sure would be a lot more fun if everything was free...but that's not too realistic.  North American Bancard wants to help you make the payment aspect of shopping easy, even if it's not most shoppers' favorite part.  If the check-out process goes smoothly, your customers will be happier...nobody likes to deal with mischarges and the like.

North American Bancard's merchant services are used by businesses in all sorts of industries and have been trusted since 1992.  A quality payment system will help you stand out among the rest, and we would love to help you shine.  Credit card processing can be made easy by visiting nabancard.com and filling out our online application to get started.  Go ahead; keep your customers happy by making their shopping experience hassle-free.

Cut the Wires

Sunday, January 31, 2010 by North American Bancard Blogger
There's some great new wireless technology that can really give your business an edge on your competitors.  Mobile credit card terminals are becoming more and more popular among business owners, and allow you to accept credit cards from nearly anywhere!  A wireless merchant account with North American Bancard can give you the mobility that you need to make more sales and increase your profits.

  • The WAY Systems MTT: This device is the size of a cell phone and has the option of an infra-red wireless printer to make it easy to print receipts.

Restaurant Solutions

Sunday, January 31, 2010 by Tyler D
I would have to say, one of my favorite things to do is go out to eat.  It's fun to cook, but sometimes it's good to just give it a break and let someone else do all of the work...especially when they're better at it than you are.  Restaurants provide so many conveniences that you wouldn't get if you were to just stay home for a meal.  Firstly, you are waited on...which doesn't often happen for me at home.  You also have access to a variety of different foods instead of being stuck by the confines of what's in your refrigerator.  Then, of course, there's the last perk of going out...no dishes!

Restaurant owners are all about providing customers with a great experience, both in the quality of their food as well as the overall service.  It's important to make things smooth for them in order to give the most enjoyable time possible.

One area that can be a little tricky for some restaurants is their payment system.  Unfortunately, at least for me, problems with the bill can put a damper on the entire visit to the restaurant.  Sure, there are simple, easy mistakes that are made sometimes...no big deal.  Other times, however, a bigger problem can lead to a less-than-satisfied customer.  You want to make sure to avoid these situations at all costs.

North American Bancard will help you do this by providing quality credit cards equipment and merchant services catered specifically to the needs of your restaurant.  Visit us online to learn a little bit more about all that we have to offer; you won't be disappointed.

Take It Easy

Sunday, January 31, 2010 by North American Bancard Blogger
As a business owner, one of the last things that you want to have to deal with is sub-par services.  It's just a hassle to run into complications during the middle of your normal operations; nobody wants to have to take extra time to fix something that shouldn't have gone wrong in the first place.  You should be able to take it easy and focus on your business rather than peripheral issues.  North American Bancard is a company that understands this and wants to help you be worry-free when it comes to your payment system.

Our staff is comprised of some of the brightest people in the payment industry.  We know payment solutions.  Ever since NAB President, Marc Gardner, began the company back in 1992, top-quality service is what we've been giving our customers so that they can focus on their day-to-day operations.  We have experience in diverse industries, so no matter what type of business you run, we've got you covered.

NAB's products and merchant services are also very affordable; we have one of the best free terminal programs in the payment industry!  You can also take it easy knowing that you're not going to have to shell out a bunch of money just to accept credit cards.

Make sure that your payment services don't get in the way of your business, but rather help make things easier.  Visit North American Bancard online today to learn more.

Busy Business

Sunday, January 31, 2010 by Tyler D
Anyone who has ever worked in food service or retail understands the concept of "the rush".  Often, it comes at an expected time...such as lunch hour.  Other times, it's seems entirely random...everybody wants to eat a meal at exactly 3:42 pm...strange.  I'm not sure what necessarily causes this in every instance, but I do know that it's important for you to be prepared.  One minute you may be restocking your merchandise and the next running the register while helping 3 different customers on the floor...you need to be ready!

North American Bancard will help equip your business with a payment system so that you can stay on top of things, regardless of when that rush comes.  There are all sorts of options available with NAB.  We have a large selection of mobile credit card terminals, as well as other credit card machines that will keep you on schedule.  Card processing has never been so easy!

At NAB, we specialize in the busy business.  We know what it's like to have to deal with finicky equipment and difficult customer service...therefore, we make sure to avoid all of that.  You can give customer support a call any time at 1-800-BANCARD to get your questions answered, we would love to help.   Visit us online today to fill out our easy application and get started with great NAB products and services!



Accepting Credit Cards at Your Hotel

Saturday, January 30, 2010 by Tyler D
Hotel payment systems can be a bit tricky if you don't know what you're doing.  The good news is...North American Bancard definitely knows what they are doing.  We've been in the business since 1992 and have plenty of experience specifically within the hotel industry.

There are so many different areas in your establishment that require you to accept credit cards: a restaurant, room service, the front desk, and any other special ammenities that you have to offer.  Some people like the option of paying for items/services on the spot rather than just adding it to their tab, so it's good to make it easy for them to do this.  Your customers will recognize this effort that you've made to accomodate their wants.

Here at North American Bancard, we understand that your hotel needs a payment solution with special features; not just any old credit card terminal will do.  Check out our solutions center to see what all is available.  NAB will also help you design the perfect system to fit your needs, so you don't have to be an expert on POS systems in order to run a professional operation.  You can also give one of our representatives at 1-800-BANCARD with any further questions you may have.  We're looking forward to making it easy for your hotel to accept credit cards!
