Have you ever had an emergency? The very definition of it implies that you did not know when it was going to happen or how much it was going to cost. Thankfully, most businesses these days will accept credit card payments in such situations.
A person’s car might break down and end up costing hundreds of dollars. The rent or mortgage still has to be paid, so where does the extra come from? You might end up in the office of a specialist doctor of some sort who will not consider seeing you unless you can pay the $200 up front and wait for the insurance reimbursement later.
Credit cards have become the way to pay, so whether your company helps with emergencies or everyday items, you need to accept credit card payments.
