Boost Your Business With a Merchant Account

These days, the credit card payment option is a must, whether you have a physical retail outlet, take telephone orders or sell products over the Internet. Besides the potential revenue boost, credit cards may well be a cheaper alternative to cash and checks. In a case study prepared by Coopers & Lybrand, credit card processing costs average 2.7% of any transaction, checks 4.0% and cash 4.8%.

These figures make sense when you consider how many times paper money and coins must be counted and recounted by different individuals. While each business would vary in that respect, cash and checks still require more handling than plastic alternatives.
