About POB Bank Card Processing Learn more about Point of Banking and How it Benefits Retail Merchants
Anytime a retail business accepts non-cash payments, they are providing a service that is a convenience for their customers. As with any product or service, it costs money to provide this convenience which increases the cost of doing business and decreases profits for the merchant.
Point of Banking processing services enables retail merchants with a way to provide their customers with the convenience and the security of PIN based bankcard processing at no cost to the merchant.
Customers can feel more secure with the transaction since they maintain control of their card and they enter their PIN (Personal Identification Nbr) when completing transactions. A small convenience fee is added to the transaction which pays for the cost of processing, and merchants are encouraged to consider not marking up this fee since customers are paying for the cost of processing transactions so the merchant doesn't have to.
POB machines run transactions that are PIN based withdrawals (not purchases like credit card terminals) and are run in whole dollar amounts that are increments of either 5 or 10. The merchant controls what the maximum amount is that can be run on the terminal and accepts transaction receipts as payment for good and services. Funds are sent to the merchant's bank account by direct deposit just like other types of bankcard processing services, but without the expensive processing fees.
Some pob service providers like to place free credit card terminals in merchant locations so they can make profit off of the merchant's customers. They do this by having a high surcharge and these providers share very little if anything with the merchant. This is not a good deal for the merchant because customers do not like to pay high surcharges which always causes merchants to lose some of their customers.
Don't be fooled by offers for "free cashless atm machines" because they are taking money that your business should be making! If the merchant has a type of business where a higher surcharge can be supported, the merchant should be making the extra profit from their customers, not some fast talking sales person. These providers are taking advantage of merchants by claiming equipment is very expensive and costly to maintain and this is all rocket science which of course is not true. This is how many in sales today choose to do business... they don't share the whole story with their customers!
Our business model is simple and straight forward with no hidden fees or agendas to inflate profits like those other providers. Our program offers low cost equipment and processing services, backed by industry leading tech support to keep things running as smooth as possible so merchants can focus on their customers and running their business.

It doesn't cost anything to talk a little shop!
