Once limited to online transactions and major retailers, paying with a credit card has become part of our daily lives. We’ve gone from swiping to inserting a chip to tapping with our phones. As card payments change, businesses need to keep up.
In 2023, card payments are an indispensable part of doing business. The COVID-19 pandemic further fuelled this transition, with more stores accepting contactless payments to minimize social contact. As society gravitates away from cash transactions, businesses and individuals seek increased flexibility and convenience for their payment methods.
What makes card payments challenging?
While paying with a card nowadays is as simple as tapping your phone, it is not always as straightforward on the business side. Accepting card payments can be a costly endeavor for businesses. High premiums are often required to transact with specific card providers, adding to operational expenses.
Payment service providers (PSPs) help to make accepting card payments a seamless experience. They connect businesses with multiple credit card providers like Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. However, not every PSP is created equal. Rigid plans and limited partnerships can limit their efficacy.
