Payzone Card Services Announces Partnership with Associated Carpet Group

Jan. 13, 2012 - PRLog -- Payzone Card Services has announced  a partnership with the Associated Carpet Group who will promote the Payzone Card Acceptance scheme exclusively to its members.

With a network of 250 independently owned stores across the country, Associated Carpet Group has reached an agreement  with Payzone to provide market leading credit and debit card acceptance services to its members at the most competitive terms available.

The deal provides ACG members with very attractive debit card fees at a low, flat rate per transaction and some of the most attractive credit rates available to UK independent businesses. Payzone and ACG have also agreed preferential charges for Payzone’s state of the art card payment terminals.  

The range of Payzone Chip and PIN machines ensures that every business type is catered for – from low cost internet enabled ‘counter top’ terminals and portable terminals that use Bluetooth through to rechargeable mobile terminals with an in-built SIM card that can be used “on location” -  for example at the customer’s home when accepting deposits or taking final payments.

Steve Almond, Head of Card Acceptance at Payzone said: “I’m delighted that we have reached this agreement with ACG.  Accepting cards is an increasingly important part of any ACG member’s business and it’s equally important that the costs associated with card payments are kept as low as possible.  

“With our best in class customer service developed through supporting over 20,000 small and growing businesses in the UK plus our range of simple to use fixed and mobile card payment terminals we are looking forward to helping ACG’s members do more businesses and save more costs.”

Richard Moore, Membership Executive at ACG, commented: “This is a great deal for ACG’s members and we’re delighted to be working with Payzone Card Services.   The terms agreed ensure that every ACG member can benefit from preferential charges that would normally be available only to much larger businesses.  

“We’ve also agreed with Payzone that there will be no joining fee for their services and that the preferential rates for the card payment terminal rental will be held for at least 5 years from when the member signs their Payzone Agreement.  

“There’s no need for our members to change their Bank account and we’re confident that many of them will find these new terms very attractive.”

The preferential terms are available to new and existing Payzone customers who are also members of the Associated Carpet Group. Members can take advantage of the specialist ACG rates by calling Payzone Card Services on 0844 822 1974 and speaking to a Payzone advisor or emailing cards@payzone.co.uk
