Business to Business

Just as more and more consumers are paying for goods and services with debit and credit cards, so are businesses. There are many reasons for accepting cards for business transactions. We’d be happy to help you maximise the benefits to your business.

Improve cash flow

No need to wait for cheques to clear: accept cards and your bank account is usually credited within four working days.

Reduce costs

With cash flow improved, you’re less likely to have to rely on loans and overdrafts to plug any funding gaps, so you avoid unnecessary interest fees and other such charges.

Reduce bad debt

Every card used for a transaction automatically goes through our authorisation service checks; you can be sure that the card has not been reported lost or stolen, and that funds are available in the account at the time of the transaction.

Increase competitiveness – especially in the public sector

Card acceptance can be crucial when winning new business. If you wish to supply the public sector (the Visa Government Procurement Card is a purchasing card), or major UK corporations, you may be asked to accept purchasing cards.

Enhance customer relationships

With card transactions, there’s no need to chase valued customers for payment.
