Visa/MasterCard - These cards are the most commonly used business and personal credit cards in the United States.  Whether the card is connected to a checking account (i.e. “check card”), is a regular consumer credit card, accumulates rewards, or is issued for a business, there are very few consumers that do not have a Visa or MasterCard in their wallets.  

Discover - These cardholders are very loyal to Discover and prefer this card over all others. Discover cards have a very rewarding cash back program and low interest rates for their users. Accepting Discover is a must for all merchants!  

American Express - Accepting this premium “charge” card is essential for all businesses. American Express cardholders have very high credit limits and spend more than the average credit card user. American Express cardholders also accumulate mileage points and insist on using their American Express cards.  

PIN-Based Debit Cards - Accepting PIN-based debit cards is the 21st century way to do business. While debit cards may be processed as a credit card, at credit card rates, using a pinpad with a debit card means: 1) no required signature, 2) lower processing fees (in many circumstances), 3) extremely low risk of chargeback, and 4) the needs of the customer are met.

CheckPoint - Wouldn’t it be great to avoid bounced check losses? Our check-assurance program, CheckPoint, is the best in the business. You no longer need to worry about bounced checks. With CheckPoint, you can choose paper-check guarantee or the latest technology, Electronic Check Conversion (ECC). ECC allows you to process checks just like credit cards. Insert the check in your check reader and give the check back to the customer. The funds will be transferred into your account. In addition, if an ECC transaction “bounces,” you will be reimbursed the face value of the check and will not incur any bounced check fees.

Gift Cards - The number of consumers purchasing gift cards is increasing exponentially. Wouldn't you like to compete with large retailers? When you sell our reloadable gift cards to your customers, you collect payment but don't need to provide goods or services until the cards are redeemed, thus increasing your cash flow! Gift cards will not only introduce new customers to your business, but also encourage return visits when a balance remains on the card. Gift cards come with pre-designed templates, or they can be customized for your business. Introduce gift cards to your business today; our starter package is FREE!

Business Cash Advances – Whether you’re a big or small merchant, cash advance programs such as Leaders Merchant Services’ can help grow your business. Leaders Merchant Services can help with advertising and/or inventory or just provide additional working capital. If you have been in business for more than a year and have been processing credit cards for at least four months, you will most likely qualify for an advance! There are no upfront costs, and we can get you funded in about 10 days. Don't miss this opportunity to grow your business! Call the LEADERS Funding Department today at 1-800-506-8853.

Premium Customer Care - PCC represents the ultimate in merchant concierge services. One low monthly fee provides an array of valuable benefits, including: a lifetime warranty on equipment purchased or leased from LEADERS, free supplies (excluding shipping costs), free loaner equipment, priority status for technical support, and special discounts on peripheral equipment. If you opted out of our Premium Customer Care program on your Merchant Services Intake Form, we urge you to join today! The benefits are in effect as long as you are a member of PCC.  

iAccess – For the first month, this exciting tool is free. Merchant account activity can be viewed online 24/7/365. We think it is the best in the business, and if ready access to your account information is important to you, try iAccess.

Manual Imprinters - Visa/MasterCard regulations require a receipt for all face-to-face bankcard transactions. If your terminal should fail, you should have a manual imprinter as a backup. Rent one from us for a low monthly fee, and we will include supplies at no extra charge.
