By allowing debit card customers to use their bank ATM cards and check cards to pay for goods and services, the transactions that are ran with these cards allow for the card holder to immediately pay for the item instead of paying the amount at a another time like a credit card.

What is PIN-based, PIN-less, and signature-based debit?

■  PIN-based transactions occur at the point of sale and are defined by the entry of a PIN (Personal Identification Number) by the cardholder. Also referred to as online debit.

■  PIN-less debit transactions are conducted without the cardholder present and are generally used only in processing environments with recurring transactions, such as utilities or other bill payments.

■  Signature debit, also referred to as offline debit, is the use of a check card issued by a bank. During the transaction, the cardholder can elect to use the card as Debit (PIN-based) or Credit (Signature-based).

With TeleCheck services, you get it all; the ability to process all major credit/ debit cards and even accept checks.
How does it work?

The check is authorized through the capture of banking information and the amount of the check. After approval, the customer will receive a receipt of the transaction to sign. Once signed, the customer receives a copy of the check.

SW Merchant Services Group offers tips on fraud protection. Consumers are very concerned about credit card theft. Credit card fraud is something that can never be completely eliminated, but can be managed through practices by the merchant. Here are preventative tips that can you can perform to limit credit card fraud.

An authorization on a credit card does not mean you are safe from fraud.

Approved authorization does not guarantee payment. Approval only indicates that at the time of purchase, the card hasn’t been reported stolen/lost or the card limit has not been exceeded. If someone is using the credit card illegally, the card holder can dispute the charges.

Always get an Address Verification.

Using AVS (Address Verification System) is easy to decrease the chances of accepting a stolen credit card. When you process a credit card transaction; make sure you get the card holder’s billing address and zip code. Manual non-swipe transactions will require you to get card holder information. However, card present transactions will not. Once you get the card holder’s billing address and zip code you’re ready to process the sale.

Always use Card Verification Methods (CVM).

Card Verification Value (CVV) is the three-digit code on the back of a credit card (four digits for American Express). The card holder’s CVV code is verified by the card issuing bank when the credit card sale is being processed. If you do not receive a CVV match you should consider declining the transaction. Online merchants should make CVV a required field.

Be wary of different “Bill” and “Ship To” addresses.

Require anyone who uses a different “ship to” address to send a fax/email with their signature and credit card number authorizing the transaction. If the billing and shipping addresses are different, request telephone numbers for both addresses.

Be extra careful with International Orders.

It is very difficult to retrieve goods or apprehend fraudsters after they have left the country. Always inspect the orders that are being shipped to an international address. Pay more attention if the card or the shipping address is in an area prone to credit card fraud.

A CHARGEBACK occurs when the funds paid into the merchant account are reversed and refunded to the cardholder. The chargeback documentation can tell you why the cardholder is disputing the transaction.

In most cases, Cardholders are given 120 days from the date of the transaction to make a claim. In addition to the reversal, the merchant is typically charged a service fee for the chargeback. Sometimes the bank will issue a chargeback before you receive notice of the claim. Unmerited “disputes” are common and most instances are settled in favor of the cardholder. Chargebacks can cost the merchant additional fees and if they occur too frequently, can jeopardize merchant account.

Here are a few tips on how you can minimize the chances of getting a chargeback:

Check the cardholder’s signature; compare the first letter and spelling of the surname on the receipt with the signature on the card. If a customer’s card is unable to be read, this may be a sign of fraudulent activity or stolen account number. Ask the customer for a different form of payment. Avoid manually keying in the card, as this may put the merchant at risk of a chargeback.

Use a manual imprinter (not pencil, crayon, or any other writing instrument) to capture the impression of the card. Even if the transaction is authorized and the receipt is signed, there is still a chance that fraud may occur.

When the customer’s shipping address and the credit card billing address do not match, you have the right to contact the customer to ask him/her to explain the difference.

Make sure the transaction information on the receipt is legible, complete, and accurate. In any chargeback case, you will have to fax/email the receipt to the bank and if the receipt(s) is illegible, you may lose the case just based on that fact. It is also very important to manage the customer’s expectations upfront, document your efforts and work directly with the cardholder to resolve misunderstandings or conflicts. Our goal is to help resolve these disputes in the merchant’s favor. Please note that all remedies to a chargeback must be in compliance with the Card Association rules and regulations.
