Most consumers today prefer to pay by credit or debit card. After all, fumbling around with cash and change can be cumbersome. We’ve all experienced that juggling act at the counter, right? Cards are simply more convenient. But you know that processing credit cards isn’t free. In fact, it can be downright costly, depending on who you’re processing with and how much you’re processing each day. Our Surcharge and Dual Pricing Programs can help you keep more of your hard-earned dollars in your pocket.

Surcharge Program

Do you need a solution to help you cover the cost of accepting credit card payments?
With EMS’ Surcharge Program, you can require customers who choose to pay by credit card to cover the fees that would otherwise be your responsibility. This allows them to still enjoy the convenience of paying with a credit card, at little or no cost to you.
Simple Setup, Strong Solution
Setting up your new Surcharge Program is a breeze. We’ll program a terminal to automatically apply a surcharge to all purchases made with a credit card. Then, simply post signage notifying your customers of the charge, and you’re ready to roll! Our Surcharge Program includes:
- Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express surcharge registration, on your behalf
- Signage giving customers the required surcharge notice
- A point of sale terminal or system with surcharge programming
- 24/7/365 live customer support
Dual Pricing Program
Sell $100 in products or services and receive $100, regardless of the customer’s payment method.
Our Program encourages your customers to pay with cash by adding a small service charge to all store sales that will be removed if the customer pays with cash. This can help you save hundreds of dollars every month and improve your bottom line.
Fast & Easy Set Up
The Dual Pricing technology is built into a terminal, so you and your employees can implement the program quickly – no additional work required. Our program includes:
- Signage providing customers with proper notice
- 24/7/365 live, expert customer service
- Increased profit potential
