Accepting Visa

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.
