Getting started
Accepting Visa can help you drive revenue and
improve customer satisfaction by ensuring payment is fast, secure
and convenient.
To sign up to accept Visa, you'll first need to contact a bank
or organisation that offers card acceptance services. This is
usually known as an acquiring bank.
Choosing an acquiring bank
Often the main bank or organisation that handles your business
account may offer these services and it may be quicker and more
convenient to check with them first. Otherwise there are many
acquiring banks to choose from.
Choosing a card acceptance account
Once you have chosen an acquiring bank you will need to identify
the type of account that works best for you.
