Has your business ever wondered what alternatives there are processing debit cards? Join NACS for a free webinar on June 30 at 2 p.m. EST: Introduction to Alternatives for Accepting Debit Cards, an insightful session exploring lesser-known alternatives to processing debit card payments.

Many small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) accept Visa and MasterCard, but regional debit networks offer a compelling alternative?

The webinar will discuss:

  • Understanding regional debit networks: Learn about NYCE, Shazam, STAR and other networks beyond Visa and MasterCard.

  • The Durbin Amendment and Merchant Choice: How federal law gives merchants the power to choose their payment routing.

  • Key considerations for adoption: PINless transactions, single versus dual message processing and EMV chip support.

  • Benefits of regional brands: Reduce transaction costs, access enhanced features and gain alternatives to major card networks.

  • The future of debit transactions: Engage in a Q&A on evolving payment options and merchant needs.

Speakers for this webinar include Roger Applewhite, a subject matter expert from the Secure Remote Payment Council.

The Secure Remote Payment Council (SRPc) is a nonprofit, inter-industry trade association that supports the growth, development and market adoption of debit-based internet eCommerce and mobile channel payment methods that meet or exceed the security standards for pinned-based card present payments.
