If you’re a new company, start-up or small business, having a cost-effective card payment processing solution is vital for maintaining account stability and maximising profit. As a leading payment service provider for growing businesses, we understand the challenges merchants in your position face and offer a range of solutions to meet your needs. In this blog, we outline the importance of efficient and effective credit card processing for small businesses and what makes Fibonatix different from other providers.

Key payment challenges small businesses face

A common concern for small businesses is cash flow and for companies just starting out, the rush for success and a regular cash flow can lead to searching for short-term solutions and silver bullets, instead of crafting a well-planned long-term strategy.

Another key challenge for small businesses is getting the right support from a suitable payment service provider (PSP). Various factors can impact business liquidity and finding the right PSP that can open a merchant account that suits your specific needs, business type and model and provides stable payment processing is vital. The right provider can support you with building blocks and fundamentals of effective and reliable payment processing, including gaining a processing account, selecting the right payment solutions and integrations, risk assessment and management, reporting and data intelligence, etc.

What also affects most small businesses is a lack of resources. When it comes to payments, this can mean struggling to offer some of the more intricate payment options to optimise conversions and review opportunities. Plus, there are risk management considerations that can threaten the profitability of the business, such as chargebacks, fraudulent activity, payment failure and technical processing issues, all of which can lead to financial and reputational damage.

The importance of cost-effective credit card processing for small businesses

Operating cost-effective credit card payment processing for small businesses helps to ensure profitability and enable growth and expansion at the right pace. But what does this consist of? These are some of the key things you should expect from your card processing solutions:

  • The ability to open a dedicated and unique merchant account for payment processing
  • Integrations with multiple acquirers to maximise traffic by dedicating solutions to your target markets and business needs
  • Being able to provide real-time support and services to online consumers and having a payment gateway and service provider that can support your business across a variety of channels
  • Visibility over transactional trends to gain insights into your customers and industry, like approval ratio trends, to take actions that can increase revenue for your business

What makes Fibonatix different from other providers?

A good payment service provider needs to be able to help you overcome the key challenges small businesses face and deliver efficient and cost-effective debit and credit card processing solutions, but not all PSPs will be able to adequately tailor solutions to your unique business needs and requirements.
