Do You Accept Credit Cards? Preferred Contractors Can!

Accepting credit cards is an ideal way to speed your business transactions and boost your cash flow.

Let's say that you've just completed a very large project (i.e., several thousand dollars worth of work) that the customer would either have to pay all in cash or may have to work out a payment plan with you. If they paid by credit card, you could receive your payment in full, up front.

If you maintain service agreements, you can automatically bill your customer's credit card account or accept a payment over the phone if they are away. A lot of contractors have gone to C.O.D. payments, and credit cards help facilitate that type of transaction when the customer is not at home.

In any case, having your own credit card merchant account will eliminate the trouble of dealing with customers where it can be difficult for you to collect cash payments.

And now Hunter is offering a special program that makes free credit card merchant accounts available, exclusively to Preferred Contractor Program members.

The Hunter Contractor Credit Card Program includes many features, the most important being the rapid speed that you, the contractor, will receive your funds from your customers – within 48 hours. Under this program, your funds will not be debited daily or weekly for fees and there is no requirement that you use a specific payment terminal (thus sparing you unnecessary equipment expenses).

By providing all aspects of the payment processing cycle, the program also eliminates any third party involvement, allowing its systems to be flexible enough to be customized to meet your individual needs.

The program is managed by Paymentech, a full service electronic payment solution provider that is the largest processor and acquirer of credit card transactions (over 3 billion annually) in the United States. The company has provided credit and debit authorizations and bankcard settlement processing for direct merchant customers, financial institutions and sales agents since 1985.
