Payment Card Processing
Retailers know that there are costs involved with the processing of all different types of payment, and the
management of such costs is vital to those retailers seeking to maximise the net revenue from every single transaction.
Current trends amongst consumers consistently show that payment by card is becoming the preferred method of payment. Major high street names are stopping or considering stopping accepting cheques, accelerating this trend.
The major card scheme providers such as Visa and Mastercard have increased the charges levied on the UK banks and many have passed these charges on to smaller retailers. At the same time many independent retailers face customer service relating to their card processing needs being provided by call centres based outside the UK and many experiences poor service as a result.
Real Rewards is able to provide independent UK based businesses with a complete solution to their credit card processing needs.
We are constantly finding retailers don't realise just how much they are paying to process card payments made by
their customers. It seems a great deal negotiated several years ago may not be such a great deal today.
We are able to provide some of the most competitive rates available to independent
retailers in the UK. Our rates are based on the combined turnover of our trade group which consists of a wide range of retailers. Whatever your card related turnover, the turnover of our trade group is larger and hence our rates are almost certainly better.
Why not find out exactly what you are currently paying and see if we can provide you a more competitive rate.
We have had retailers join our trade group even though part of
their overall business package with their bank included a special credit card rate that was slightly better than ours. Why?
They were tired of poor customer service, fed up with dealing with call centres based over seas,
after all the processing of card transactions is vital to many businesses and good back up is essential.
With our trade group, all of our partners offer excellent customer service and back up from call centres based in the UK. In addition, Real Rewards provides
additional support, so you can always call us and let us sort out any issues should they
arise.
Real Rewards is an independent UK business working to provide
independent retailers with services and products that support independent retailing. Our trade group consists of other like minded independent retailers working as a group to drive down the cost of processing card based transactions.
We simply believe that independent businesses should work together for mutual benefit
when ever possible.
Our trade group is supported by some of the major players within the UK card transaction processing market. Our
competitive rates are provided by Lloyds TSB Cardnet. Our polling company is TNSI and our credit card terminals are provided by the
manufacturer Ingenico.
Real Rewards administers the retail side of our trade group and all four companies work together to provide first class support.
Other cards by special arrangement
We are proud of the fact that even before we introduced our referral scheme a significant number of new members of our trade group came from referrals from existing customers. The referral scheme was introduced to recognise and reward customers who benefit the whole group by introducing new members.
