PIF extends member benefits with card processing scheme

 

The Pet Industry Federation has announced the launch of a new card-processing solution to add to the range of business benefits already available to its members.

 

PIF Payment Services is powered by PaymentPlus, whose buying power with multiple UK acquirers enables them to deliver highly competitive card processing rates to PIF members.

 

The system will offer PIF members secure card payment solutions using the latest generation of payment terminals, with colour screens and contactless payment options to ensure pet businesses are able to support the latest payment services.

 

In addition, because PIF Payment Services works with the majority of online payment gateways, online merchants can benefit from competitive merchant service charges, even providing businesses with their own preferred solution if they do not have one.

 

PIF Payment Services has been launched in conjunction with PIF’s established and successful affinity partnership with PIF Telecom, providing further saving to PIF members who use PIF Telecom for their telephone line and broadband.

 

Nigel Baker, PIF CEO said: "Implementing a suitable card-processing solution is becoming increasingly important for businesses and we are delighted to have extended our member benefits package by working with the experts at PaymentPlus to offer this genuinely valuable benefit to our members.

 

"We were so impressed with the work PaymentPlus did to improve PIF’s processing rates, that we have switched our card processing system over to PaymentPlus within our own office and across our dog grooming sites at Hadlow College and Greenwich."

 

 If you would like further information about how to access these great card-processing rates as a PIF member, contact the customer service team on 01234 273933 or visit www.pifpayment.co.uk for more details.
