Why accepting Visa makes business sense

With more than two billion Visa cardholders worldwide, accepting Visa can make a big difference to your business.

Here’s why…

• More customers: individuals, businesses and public sector organisations are all using payment cards more and cheques less. 
• Increased revenue: People who shop with a Visa card aren’t held back by the amount of cash in their wallets. In fact, numerous studies show that payment cards not only offer more convenience and fewer lost sales, but they may also lead to bigger purchases, with the average Visa payment in Europe currently being €58.
• Speedier service: Card payments are quicker than cash. That means shorter queues, faster service and happier customers.
• Lower overheads: Accepting Visa cuts down on the costs and risks involved in handling cash, and you won’t feel so dependent on it.
• Secure and prompt payment: Sales can be made securely face-to-face, by telephone or online. And you can improve your cash flow as payments are usually in your bank account within two to four days.
• Global reach: With more than two billion Visa cardholders worldwide, Visa is a powerful tool for attracting new customers from around the world. And makes it easier to trade with them.
