Back to Business: Better Deals for Credit Card Services

Town and Country Bank and Peoples Prosperity Bank has repackaged and repriced its services that help businesses offer credit card payments to clients. “In this new world, we know our customers want to provide their customers an easier way of making payments, an easier way of shopping local, and an easier way of supporting their community businesses, and we want to help them,” says Jana Hattey, Community Bank President of Peoples Prosperity Bank in Quincy.

These services are offered through a partnership with Merchant e-Solutions to offer you big bank cutting edge technology with community bank service. Merchant’s products promise increased flexibility so you have more time with your customers. On its website, Merchant’s customers said they had faster reconciliation with their products, a quick transition from their old system, and were able to store credit card information and process it in batches.

Here are our new and improved credit card processing packages. With any package, you get local service from your bank representative and 24-hour support from Merchant.

Clear, Simple Pricing

The “Clear, Simple Pricing” option provides a SwipeSimple mobile unit and its mobile payment app, which attaches to a Smartphone or tablet. The unit can read credit cards with chips (EMV) and contactless terminals. Your online reporting is included as well.

There is a contactless option for a module, which costs as little as $25 a month, plus a qualified rate of 2.55% and twenty cents per transaction.     

For something more traditional, we have a counter-top terminal that also provides contactless payments for $40 a month. This would enable business owners to take payments over the phone or when they’re out of the office, too.  

Business Essentials

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many business owners have started selling products or services online. “Some think, ‘I can’t do this because I can’t afford to create a website,’” Hattey says. We’ve got a solution for you. With our Business Essentials package, you get everything in the Clear Simple package plus a web commerce site where you can place up to 20 products for sale. Customers can make payments via credit card or a bank card. Your website hosting and shopping cart are included for as low as $49 a month.

If you’re interested in either of these packages, please contact one of our Business Bankers or call our Customer Service Solution Center at (866) 770-3100.
