Associations & Credit Card Processing
|
Most associations keep a constant lookout for means to add value to the benefits programs they offer their members.
One often overlooked – but very significant – method of so doing is to incorporate merchant accounts into your benefits package.
The rewards of offering a special merchant account solution to your association’s membership include:
- Reduced discount rates, transactions fees and hardware/software costs for your members.
- Customized processing programs can be created for your membership.
- Residual income to your association itself – earn a portion of every sale processed by each of your members.
- Earn a royalty on your members’ purchases of credit card processing equipment and software, internet payment gateways, etc.
- Enhanced member loyalty.
- Additional marketing and promotion opportunities to your membership.
- Improve your association’s cashflow.
