Merchant Accounts Company Stresses Importance of Payment Security

A1 Merchant Accounts, a leader in the payment processing industry, is reemphasizing the importance of payment security after the results of a recent consumer study.

Carlsbad, CA (PRWEB) March 19, 2008 - It is no surprise that a recent study conducted by Jupiter research found that consumers are influenced by payment security when they shop. The results of this study revealed that the most important factors people consider when faced with two merchants offering the same product at the same price are payment security and payment processing choice. A1 Merchant Accounts, a leader in this industry, is stressing the importance of payment security to their clients more than ever.

More than 50 percent of the people who participated in this study said the security of their financial information was the main deciding factor when they made purchases. This is particularly important for online credit card transactions, which have been a topic in the press because of scammers who steal credit card information from the Internet. Now more than ever, A1 Merchant Accounts wants businesses to understand the importance of working with a merchant accounts provider that guarantees secure payment processing.

E-businesses that do not offer online credit card transactions are hurting their bottom line, but businesses with questionable security are also losing customers, as this study shows. A1 Merchant Accounts understands that consumers will still use credit cards and debit cards for the vast majority of their online payments for years to come. This is why they provide payment processing solutions for businesses small and large, and they are stressing the importance of payment security.
