Technology has increased the security on credit cards during the past five years. Your customers can count on making secure payments. The information that is taken from their credit cards is now put directly into a credit card terminal and then encoded so that when it transfers to the middleman and then back to the customer’s bank, no one else has access to that number. In addition to this, the receipt which prints out does not have the customer’s credit card number on it, and in most cases the merchant cannot even get that number from his processing company.
Credit card payments have come a long way since the days of carbon paper and embossed card machines. It’s just another reason why most merchants today accept credit cards.
