An Introduction to Merchant Accounts
You have probably heard about them on the news or the internet, and still many people sit back and wonder what in the world ‘merchant accounts’ could be. To make things easier on you, they are simply a way for businesses to accept credit cards from consumers, whether it's online or offline. In doing so, it makes a potential buyer's shopping a lot easier by either giving a credit card number or swiping it on a machine at their local store.
Discount Rates for Credit Card Processing
Most credit card processing accounts are quoted to prospective merchant account clients by the lowest rate. This is called the qualified discount rate. However, many people are not aware that every transaction will not be processed at the quoted rate.
Preventing Internet Credit Card Fraud
Despite the fact that there are a host of e-payment options out there, it still is a plain fact that the credit card is the internet’s chief currency. Research has shown that although credit card companies reimburse 90 percent of consumers whose cards have been used fraudulently, more than 75% of internet merchants who are credit card fraud victims have to bear the cost themselves. Keeping this in mind, it has to be said that in spite of the rapid growth of e-commerce, online payment still remains an area of immaturity and major concern for the internet industry, especially since there is no surefire way eliminating credit card fraud.
