Accepting Card Payments
This section will help merchants with general information on accepting card payments.
An acquiring bank will discuss with a merchant which card types they may want to accept for their business. In addition, an acquiring bank may provide details on how a merchant can recognise card types, for card present transactions, and their security features e.g. holograms or card markings that appear when viewed under an ultraviolet light.
There may be instances where a merchant cannot process a transaction, for example, if a terminal fails. An acquiring bank will provide instructions on what to do if this happens.
