Benefits

Millions of businesses around Europe have
already discovered the benefits of accepting Visa.
Whether you sell direct to consumers or supply goods and
services to businesses, you can benefit from accepting Visa card
payments as follows:
- Increased revenue: Customers who shop with
Visa are not limited by the cash in their wallets. As numerous
studies show, payment cards are not only more convenient they may
also lead to fewer lost sales and bigger purchases - the
average Visa payment in Europe is currently €58.
- Speedier service: Card payments rival the
speed of cash, leading to shorter queues, faster service and
happier customers. And with Visa payWave,
accepting Visa is getting even quicker.
- Lower overheads: Accepting Visa reduces the
costs and risks involved in handling cash, and can help break your
cash dependence.
- Prompt payment: Visa payments are
automatically processed by your acquiring bank, who credits your
account accordingly.
- Exclusive sponsorships: Visa sponsors big name
events, such as the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and can help
bring these events and promotions to your store. More information about Visa sponsorships and
