This just in: there are a lot of thieves in the world. And some of them would like nothing better than to get hold of you or your customer’s money and make it their own. It is therefore essential that you provide secure payments that protect your customer’s information and your business integrity.
Credit card terminals encrypt the customer’s credit card number before they send it along to the merchant provider and the customer’s bank. This ensures that the number cannot be hacked and stolen for usage by the aforementioned thieves.
With all of the many transactions that your business handles, the last thing that you need to be worrying about is whether the customer’s information is secure or not. It simply must be. Be sure.
