Often, when a business is taking the show on the road, so to speak,

they will use old fashioned credit card imprinters so that they are

still able to accept credit cards, even though they are not at their

place of business, where their more complex card payment processing

equipment is located. Taking this type of equipment with you on the

road really isn't possible. Instead of one of these old fashioned

devices, however, there are many reasons why a mobile terminal is a

much better choice, no matter where you need to do business.

• Mobile

  terminals are safer for processing payment card purchases. Mobile

  terminals use the latest in technology to encrypt the information,

  making them a safer choice. When credit card imprinters are used, an

  actual copy of the credit card is made, and this is no longer

  considered safe in the card payment industry or for consumers.

• Consumers

  prefer more advanced technology. Even if a consumer isn't up to speed

  when it comes to technology, they prefer the use of it over old

  fashioned methods when they are supplying financial data to any

  business. They get this more advanced technology with mobile terminals,

  and they are definitely more willing to use their credit cards when an

  imprint of the card is not being taken.

• Mobile terminals

  are smaller, and easier to transport. Devices designed for accepting

  plastic cards in any venue are very small and lightweight. On the other

  hand, the big bulky credit card imprinters are actually quite a problem

  when you move them from one location to another.

• You can

  be sure that your customer's credit cards are good and that they are

  immediately charged for their purchase. You don't get this level of

  service with outdated systems. Mobile terminals give you, your

  business, and your customers the protection of real time transactions.

  Without real time processing, you could make a sale, the customer will

  pay with their credit card, and only after the customer is long gone -

  with your product - will you find that the card was not actually

  accepted for the purchase by the card payment company.

• Mobile

  terminals can be leased for long periods or short periods. You must

  typically purchase one of those old fashioned devices. While mobile

  terminals can be leased, they can also be purchased, and they are

  surprisingly affordable. You can talk to a salesperson to see what the

  best option for you and your business is, and to determine what works

  best for you from a financial standpoint - lease or purchase.

• Mobile

  terminals look more professional. Most consumers do not want to do

  business with any company that doesn't look and act in a professional

  manner. When you use outdated systems - no matter what those systems

  are used for - your customers won't see you in the professional light

  that you need them to see you in.

The next time that you have a need to accept credit

cards away from your place of business, consider a mobile terminal,

instead of Credit Card Imprinters. Traveling to and setting up at the

venue will be much simpler, and your customers will be much more

willing to make their purchases using their payment cards.
