Operate your business smarter, not harder by choosing the right payment processing equipment.
There are a multitude of duties and responsibilities that demand your time when you’re running a business. Aside from managing inventory, supervising employees and all the other administrative duties, your payment system may not be top-of-mind, which could be a deal-breaker when it comes to making your business more profitable. Choosing the right equipment can seem like a daunting task, but it’s all about understanding how you want to get paid.

Accepting checks
Accepting checks allows you to provide your customers with options other than credit cards, but taking deposits to the bank every day is not the best use of your time.

You can manage direct deposit payroll transactions as well as automatic drafts. Scanning hardware is required for RDC, and the equipment is available for lease at First Bank & Trust Company.
