The cost of accepting credit cards for businesses in the US is one of the largest avoidable line-item expenses, and it continues to increase on a regular basis.
This is something that has been a major pain point for our automotive clients, and serves as one of the driving forces behind our decision to create The Auto Club (TAC).
TAC is an initiative dedicated exclusively to the automotive industry, leveraging our Pay Zero program and longstanding industry expertise to help businesses such as yours completely eliminate credit card processing costs, so that you can simply focus on running your business.
Let's take a look at our great hero — Pay Zero.
From card brand fees, to interchange fees from issuing banks, to fees added by processors, there are several cost components businesses incur when accepting credit cards.
However, the main culprit for the high cost of card acceptance are the rewards programs offered by the issuing banks in the form of points, miles, cash-back and the like.
Our Pay Zero program enables you to do what universities and government agencies have long been permitted to: pass on fees when customers choose to pay by credit card, while still giving the option to access savings by paying with a check or cash.
Pay Zero completely eliminates the cost of accepting credit cards, and has saved our clients an average of 97% on overall processing costs.
Our processors integrate with most major software suites used in the automotive industry, allowing for a seamless and quick implementation.
Pass on those fees with ease.
Our Pay Zero program is simple, all customers who choose to pay with a credit card will be charged a small processing fee at the time of purchase. If they want to avoid this charge, they can simply pay with a check or cash.
That simple.
Implementing this program is also just as simple. From the technology required to run it compliantly to the detailed customer and back office reporting, we will be able to provide you with a turn-key solution allowing you to be up and running and saving money in no time!
All of the POS hardware and software we provide will compliantly handle the program's execution right out of the box.
From back office to customer receipts, all reporting is clear and transparent for ease of use and understanding.
White glove service and support every step of the way.
TAC gives you a substantial bottom line savings and an immediate increase in EBITDA with no additional expenditure of resources or personnel.
We have found this tool to be particularly helpful in raising the valuation of a business and therefore increase its value on the open market.
Our design team will create custom branded in-store signage and educational materials for all of your locations.
This will let your consumers know about the Pay Zero program as well as keep you in compliance with all state and federal regulatory requirements.
In the unlikely event that you find this program to not be a fit for your business, we can quickly and seamlessly reimplement traditional processing with the flip of a switch.
This will be at no additional cost to you and with zero down time.
Case Studies
Coggins & Co joined TAC as a multi-location operator, and we were quickly able to implement a dual processor solution to ensure in-store functionality as well as online integration.
This is one of the many great advantages of working with us here at Sidglo, as we have the unique ability to implement multiple processing solutions for the same business depending on the needs of our clients.
