epay Partners with WorldPay to Launch Competitive Merchant Acquiring Deal to Independent Retailers
LONDON, January 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
epay have partnered with WorldPay, Europe's leading provider of merchant accounts, to
allow retailers the ability to process credit and debit card payments through their epay
terminal using their Streamline technology. Not only will retailers benefit from earning
excellent commission rates from existing products, epay retailers can now also increase
spending from customers who prefer to make purchases using their credit/debit cards,
whilst processing card payments at competitive rates.
Growth in card payments has placed demand on small and medium size businesses to offer
additional payment methods where cash has historically been the payment of choice. Not
only does this bring more footfall into store, but has also proven to increase basket
spend.
In addition to providing payment processing for all major debit and credit cards
including MasterCard and Visa, epay's new terminal with Streamline technology also offers
a range of card payment options to process transactions in a face to face environment
using fixed, portable, and mobile card acceptance devices.
On average, UK adults carry up to three cards each, and 89% of the adult population
carry at least one debit or credit card. In order to ensure consumer shopping experience
is quick, simple and stress free, epay are making payment options convenient, fast and
more secure than ever. Customers paying by cash fell by 5.2% in 2010; in fact, a Dunn &
Bradstreet study in September 2012 found that people spend 12-18% more when using credit
cards than when using cash within a retail setting.
epay's new VX 520 terminal with built in card processing technology can also be
connected to broadband to bring transaction speeds down to as little as two seconds. It
allows independent stores to compete with major retailers by reducing transaction times,
and with WorldPay being the only UK processor operating on a dual authorisation system,
retailers will be less likely to experience downtime, even during peak times.
So why wait? epay is offering all new and existing retailers the chance to sign up now
with GBP100 off installation costs and no monthly terminal charge for the first three
months*. Take advantage of this fantastic offer and experience for yourself the benefits
of accepting card payments in-store!
*Offer runs until 31st January 2013, full terms and conditions apply.
