Your Belize Bank account will be credited the next business day with all cleared transactions. Point of Sale (POS) machines and other supplementary materials will be supplied by the Belize Bank Credit Card Services Department to process your credit and debit cards.  Our POS’s are the only terminals in Belize that process more than just Visa and MasterCard cards.  They can be used with all of the following carriers:

We also are the only bank who provides merchant card processing training to your employees to use the materials supplied by Belize Bank and to learn about other relevant issues such as credit card fraud.   When we install the equipment we train everyone who will be using it, staff and supervisors alike. Depending on the numbers involved, this training can be in groups or by individuals.  We also give you bulletins on card features, authorization procedures, prevention of fraud and so on.

HOW YOUR BUSINESS WILL BENEFIT
Research indicates that credit card holders usually spend more money than other customers. By accepting popular brands of credit cards you can increase your turnover.  Here are some other benefits of debit and credit cards:

• There is less cash on your premises, which means less risk of losing some to robbery, and minimizes the potential for injury to staff; also reduces time and costs of counting and balancing it.
• Debit cards reduce the amount of bounced cheques in your business, and this saves costs as well.
• With debit cards, your account receives the funds on the same day, so you can reduce your interest costs; you can also use the money at once to buy more stock or to invest as needed.

These are just a few of the features and benefits of our merchant services and as you have seen it suits all types of businesses. We promise to explain everything to you, fully train your staff and give you advertising material. If it seems like a good deal it's because it is.
