leadermerchant — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 12:20:21 +0000

Leaders Merchant Services in Camarillo, California, has an amazing outside agent program designed to offer merchants quality credit card processing and service while providing outside agents with an easy way to make a substantial living. Whether an agent has merchant service experience or is brand new to the industry, LEADERS is looking to help every agent succeed!

LEADERS’ National Sales Agent (NSA) program was developed and introduced in August of 2006 by Director of Operations Sarah Tieman. It has been growing steadily since that time, adding over 650 agents in less than two years, with over 100 new merchants acquired each month by agents all over the United States.Agents are treated like gold from the moment they inquire about the program. They receive a warm phone call from Director of Business Development Michael Schultz, thanking them for their interest, and explaining all the program details. After the agents sign up, they are provided with professional marketing materials to help sell the merchant accounts, credit card terminals, and LEADERS’ service.

They are also invited to numerous weekly Tele-Training conference calls, where they are not only taught about the industry and business, but are also indoctrinated into the LEADERS’ Agent Program.LEADERS also provides Agent Support for its valuable agents for 11 hours of the day. Dani Reed, Nanette Cruz, and Jennifer Dunham take agent calls and emails from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Pacific Time. Services provided are help with applications, statement analysis, custom rate plans, free agent websites that mirror the LEADERS site, and much much more.

At LEADERS we believe that our agents are only as strong as we support them to be, so support and service is everything to us.But other than the outstanding service from the NSA team, what excites agents about LEADERS’ program? It’s lucrative! Agents receive 50% of all revenue streams (a true split from Interchange!) that LEADERS collects on – including American Express. Agents are paid 100% over a low buy rate on all Check Assurance and Gift Card services. Plus they receive 100% over the cost of credit card equipment on all sales and leases. LEADERS also has an amazing Business Cash Advance program that sells itself, with an amazing commission for the agents. Along with all of this, there is also a bonus program that is paid out daily to the agents – bonuses that increase in amount for each deal completed in the calendar month. And what if an agent wants to retire from LEADERS’ NSA program? Residuals belong to the agent for the life of the merchant accounts with LEADERS, even if the agent is no longer submitting accounts. It doesn’t get much better than this.

Considering in a merchant account for your business?

leadermerchant — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 12:18:07 +0000

If you’re still deciding, think no more. These days, it’s almost mandatory for a business to provide credit card processing services as people rarely have cash readily on hand. It could be for many reasons such as safety issues, convenience or great return incentives when using their credit card/debit.

Accepting more payment options means more business for your company. Most businesses today have a credit/debit card terminal as well as an internet merchant account if they own a web business online. There is a plethora of merchant services companies available with great benefits for your company. Some companies offer 24/7 availability of customer service, low competitive credit card processing rates, a strong fraud department and are willing to work with you to get approval for a merchant account even if you have bad credit. If you are interested in making some serious money for your business and would like to learn more about becoming a merchant account provider, contact Leaders Merchant Services. I joined their program and I’m glad I did!

Chicken Soup for Merchant Service Provider

leadermerchant — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 07:53:00 +0000

One of the important factors of a successful online business is a good merchant services provider. In other words, it is your credit card processing company. I have heard countless stories in which ecommerce website owners (or even website designers) have been taken for a ride by the credit card processing company.

A few bad apples does not make a bad harvest
True, there are companies just out there to get your fees. No question about it. But then there are some honest ones out there as well, and frankly, can we do without them? No. So it makes sense to try to find a good one and stick with it.
So what to look for?

Reputation : The company may not be there for ages, but some kind of history is probably good.
Independent certification: Sites like hoovers.com, Better Business Bureau or Trustline can throw some light.

Any Credit Card processing company must have a transparent and open fee structure. May not be the cheapest on the block, but you absolutely want to avoid the hiddent charges.
Do they accept all cards? How broad is their appeal? Do they have retail or wireless credit card terminals?

Technology : Are they in the cutting edge? Do they have a clue on what is MOTO credit card terminal plus printer ? In today’s hacking and grey world, a credit card company which does not regard technology as their friend should be dropped like a hot potato.

Truncation Laws

leadermerchant — Wed, 21 May 2008 07:40:00 +0000

Leaders Merchant Services, merchant account company and credit card service provider, encourages its merchants to learn the Visa and MasterCard Association rules and regulations, as well as their state legislation rules and regulations as it pertains to their merchant accounts. All merchants must follow the compliance guidelines in relation to credit card transaction receipts. The card Associations, as well as legislation in some states, require that the credit card number be masked so that only the last four digits appear on the receipt provided to the customer. This is known as “PAN Truncation.” Legislation in some states also requires the expiration date on the customer’s receipt to be masked. In addition, legislation in some states requires that the merchant’s copy of the receipt also follow masking requirements of the credit card number and/or the expiration date. It is the merchant’s responsibility to contact their state legislature to find out if the additional truncation laws apply in their state. Distinguished merchant account provider, Leaders Merchant Services, offers swift and safe credit card processing and reminds all merchants to practice security for the state legislature, the merchants, and their customers on all credit card transactions.

Leaders Merchant Services Goes PCI Compliant

leadermerchant — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 07:05:00 +0000

In the past year and a half, there have been many stories in the news regarding compromised credit card cardholder data at merchant locations. To prevent this, Visa Inc and MasterCard Worldwide have set requirements governing the safekeeping of cardholder information. The industry standard is PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) Compliance. To protect a business and its customers (cardholders) there are certain safeguards that must be in place.

DO NOT: Store the full contents from the magnetic stripe on the back of the card

DO NOT: Store the Card Validation Code (CVC): The 3 digit value printed on the signature panel of a card or 4 digit value printed on the front of an American Express card

DO: Store all material containing cardholder information (i.e. authorization logs, transaction reports, transaction receipts, car rental agreements, carbon copies, etc.) in a secure area limited to authorized personnel.

Another aspect of PCI compliancy is the mandate that all newly boarded merchants after January 1st, 2008 do not use known vulnerable payment applications or software. LEADERS will not set up a merchant account if a merchant is using such applications or software. They will be required to upgrade their applications or software to PCI compliant standards.

LEADERS is pleased to announce that we only stock PCI compliant credit card terminals and pinpads. The new credit card equipment is especially created with the security within the pinpad (internal or external) of the highest possible standard to prevent compromised cardholder data. Here is a list of the new PCI compliant credit card machines and pinpads that LEADERS is supplying to its merchants:
Verifone Vx510
Verifone Vx570
Verifone Vx610
Lipman Nurit 8000
Way Systems MTT 1581
Verifone Pinpad 1000se
First Data FD-10 pinpad
Hypercom P1300 pinpad

The Card Payment Industry and the Economy

leadermerchant — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 06:58:00 +0000

The U.S. economy has been hard hit with the very ugly term “recession”. In fact, with the increase in the price of living – housing, energy prices, gasoline – and the downturn in the economy, the U.S. is facing stagflation – the combination of a recession and inflation. The consumers of the world are feeling it. How is it affecting the card payment industry? More specifically, how does it affect merchant service providers like Leaders Merchant Services?
One way the downturn in the economy has affected merchant account providers is through the lack of merchants. People don’t have the resources to open new businesses. Businesses that are in the beginning stages struggle with success and often collapse with the lack of enough sales to keep them afloat. Merchant attrition rates increase as merchants close their doors or leave their credit card service provider for lower rates and fees.
One benefit of LEADERS is that they have the lowest rates in the industry. Plus, LEADERS is always looking to help processing merchants by offering a statement analysis that will show the merchant how much money they will save per month. In fact, LEADERS guarantees to save the merchant money or is willing to give the merchant $500!!! Merchants who are searching for a new merchant account company are pleased to open a LEADERS merchant account and save valuable dollars for running their business.
Another big impact the economy has on credit card processors is through the consumers. Consumers no longer have disposable income to pay for the unnecessary items in life. Instead, they are tightening up on spending. But this does not necessarily mean that consumers are not using their credit cards. Instead, many consumers end up relying on credit cards. People who cannot access home equity or lose jobs have no other source of financing their needs in life other than plastic. The purchases that consumers make on their credit cards shift from large and more frivolous to smaller necessities, but plastic will remain.
The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 will provide consumers with additional spending money in the form of tax rebates. Putting hundreds of dollars in the hands of the majority of the population will help stimulate the economy, helping consumers pay their bills, increase their spending, or just give them more comfort in their way of life. This relief to consumers will trickle down in positive effects all the way to the merchant service providers like Leaders Merchant Services. And what LEADERS really wants is to see the merchants of the U.S. to succeed in their business endeavors.

leadermerchant — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 11:56:00 +0000

Leaders Merchant Services is a California-based merchant account provider company which specializes in debit and credit card processing for businesses of all sizes all over the U.S. as well as internet merchant accounts. Leaders Merchant Services, LLC, a merchant account company and registered ISO/MSP of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., located in Camarillo, CA, has recently partnered with Business Financial Services (BFS) to provide cash advances to its merchants. Sarah Tieman, Director of Operations, describes this program as a “win-win” situation “for both our merchants and our agents. The merchants are receiving the funds necessary to grow their business as they desire, and the agents have an additional source of income from referring these advances. Agents have a great tool to get in the merchants’ doors as well as retain existing merchants. BFS collects the documentation while our agents pursue their next new merchant, putting more money in our agents’ pockets, faster.”
