Online Payments Offer For Enterprise Board Clients

Online Payments Offer For Enterprise Board Clients

Enterprise Board clients can now avail of a service which makes online payments easier and more cost effective.

Merchant Services accounts for start-ups

Start-up companies have traditionally found it difficult to obtain a Merchant Services account to process card payments and those lucky enough to be approved can pay very high rates for the privilege.  PayPal is an option but their rates are typically higher and they do not accept Laser cards which is a major stumbling block for Irish businesses today.

Lucey Technology have made the process easier for start-ups:

•  Lucey have worked with the Merchant Services Banks to make the process easier and more transparent for start-ups.
• Lucey clients get amazing rates of 1.24% to 1.45% to accept credit card payments depending on how much they process.
• Start-up companies’ rates may be higher to begin with but once they begin to process transactions and show a trading history these rates can be reviewed and should decrease.
• Card payments can be taken online or over the phone with  flexible payment solutions including virtual terminal, defined virtual terminal, MOTO, client invoicing and Webshop integration.
• The banks agreed to waive all set-up costs for all Lucey customers.
• Lucey advise you through the application process and liaise with the bank on your behalf.
• Lucey provide a fully PCI compliant solution.

What do the banks require for start-ups?

• Opening Balance Sheet

Note:
If your merchant account application is rejected by the Merchant Services Bank Lucey will refund your first month’s subscription.The process can take from 3 to 5 weeks for your application to be processed providing that you submit all requested documentation promptly.
