Merchant Services Update

For the last number of months we have been working on a project with regards to the Merchant Services, your credit/debit terminal machines.  

We initially asked you to forward the rates you are currently on so that we could make like for like comparisons. 

We have now negotiated preferential rates with AIB for Clonakilty Chambers provided enough members come together as a group!

Please review the rates the providers have now offered to us:

We would ask you to please take a look at your Merchant Statement.  We need you to make the necessary comparisons to understand if you could possibly make substantial savings within your business with these new rates.

If you believe these rates are substantially better than you are currently being offered then please email Mick at the chamber email address to confirm this.  If you believe you are presently offered better rates, then please simply just email to say “I am ok”.  

Finally, we have also been investigating the cost of apps with regard to credit card payments.  If you have a friend overseas who runs their own business and who currently offers credit card facilities using apps you might ask them if we could speak to them with regards this process.  This is an alternative to the typical providers we have in Ireland but we believe it is worth investigating also. 

There has been a lot of time and effort involved with this project so your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
