For decades now, this machine has allowed merchants to accept credit and debit card payments from their customers. Although this hardware has evolved in significant ways over time, no transformation has been more dramatic than the current metamorphosis into the modern smart terminal.

With today’s increased focus on hygiene and simultaneous rejection of cash, it’s clear that the payments landscape is undergoing a sea change. No matter how specialized your retail operation might be, you are not immune from this trend

With next day funding, you can have the best of both worlds. You still leverage the security and credibility that comes when you work with an established payment processor.
