Accepting Visa

With more than two billion Visa cardholders
worldwide, accepting Visa can make a big difference to your
business.
Here’s how you can benefit:
- More customers: Whether individuals,
businesses or public sector organisations, customers are using
payment cards more and more as cheque usage continues to decline.
In the UK, for example, credit and debit cards are now the
preferred method of payment for the majority of consumers
- Increased revenue: People who shop with Visa
are not limited by the cash in their wallets. As numerous studies
show, payment cards not only offer more convenience and fewer lost
sales but may also lead to bigger purchases, with the average Visa
payment in Europe currently €58
- Speedier service: Card payments are quicker
than cash, leading to shorter queues, faster service and happier
customers
- Lower overheads: Accepting Visa reduces the
costs and risks involved in handling cash, and can help break your
cash dependence
- Secure and prompt payment: Sales can be made
securely face-to-face, by telephone or online. You can
improve your cashflow as payments are usually in your bank account
within two to four days
- Global reach: There are more than two billion
Visa cardholders worldwide, making Visa a powerful tool for
attracting new customers from around the world. Visa also makes it
easier to trade with overseas customers.
