The Payments Professionals have some exciting news to share - a 100% success rate in assisting Golf Professionals who require their own Card acceptance facility to take payments for lessons, green fees, and in their shop.One of the most popular, simple to use and price competitive solutions for Golf Professionals (or indeed any small business) is via a small hand held terminal linked to a mobile phone or tablet. Using our special discounted rates the only costs are a one off fee of £19.00 +vat for the terminal, with all Card transactions charged at 1.69%. There are no other associated costs such as monthly rental, minimum monthly account charges, or PCI/DSS compliance fees - the transaction charge is simply paid each time a secure Card payment is taken.Setting up the Merchant Account is also very simple and is all done online through a secure web link, with no requirement to fill in complicated forms, or need to spend time meeting salespeople.If anyone has a Golf Professional client or other contact you feel would be interested in this product, or any other type of Merchant account, please do get in touch via LinkedIn or mark.pearson@paymentsprofessionals.co.uk
