Merchant Services are what allows businesses to accept and process credit & debit cards with the help of a merchant service organization and/or a bank. Why does BMG Communications deal with Merchant Services as a product? Good question, as we are primarily a telecommunications company.

In order to answer that question, let us first recognize that the Merchant Services industry is becoming very competitive. If you have ever put your name on any documentation closely related to being an executive or founder of a business, you probably received countless invitations to accept credits cards for that business via postal mail and e-mail solicitations.

BMG Communications is not currently pursuing the marketing and sale of Merchant Services to our clients in the traditional sense, where a retailer or restaurant, as an example, set up an account to process credit and debit cards. This may change if we feel we can bring significant value to this market segment, but in the mean time, as a telecommunications and Internet company, we recognize some niche services that complement our existing offerings. The two most popular of which are:

• Accepting Credit & Debit Cards On the Internet:
  In addition to being a telecommunications company, BMG Communications is very much an Internet company, as well. With our partners, we offer portals where customers can purchase telecommunications products and services right on the Web.
  
  Additionally, we also offer Web hosting services to our clients. We know all too well how challenging it can be to properly set up a business to accept payments online. We know the road you are going down when it comes time to begin accepting payments online. There are a lot of options and choices, as well as a lot of fine print.
  
  Also, many of our Web hosting clients are asking us for advice on this matter.
  This is why we have launched a Merchant Account services product under our BMG Hosting brand, through a major provider of Merchant Account services, as well as the other pieces to the puzzle such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certification, where a third party certifies that the secure section of your site is, in fact, secure, and even shopping cart services. Follow the below links to learn more:

• Merchant Account Services
• SSL Certificates (Secure Socket Layer Certification Certificates)
• Shopping Cart Services
• Additional Web Hosting related services:

• Wireless Credit & Debit Card Processing in the Field:
  Having a significant background in the wireless services industry, we recognize a niche whereby some companies and small businesses have field workers that need to collect money from clients, as well as some businesses that may set up shop in temporary locations, such as trade shows, weekend markets, etc.
  
  Through our partners we are able to provide devices that allow for the processing of major credit & debit cards, connect via wireless service or a traditional phone line, and even print a receipt from one simple device. Additionally, as a telecommunications company, we are able to process the required wireless service to accompany the unit and get your business on its way to accepting credit & debit cards in the field. Feel free to contact us today to discuss the possibilities.
  

Stay tuned for updates on this matter. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
