It's time to start saving money and join the one association
that supports the independent consumer electronics retailer.

As an association member your voice in the consumer electronics industry will be heard.
This association was founded to help level the playing field for the retailers of consumer electronics.

The RDCEA is proud to announce that after many months of reviewing merchant service companies the Association Advisory Board has recently voted to accept the proposal provided by First National Merchant Solutions.

FNMS works with many associations, one being the AMA. They are a leading payment processor with over 50 years experience.

Though the process of reviewing several proposals from several companies has taken some time, the RDCEA Board was in complete agreement that FNMS would do a great job for the membership in providing merchant services.

This alliance and agreement will provide RDCEA members with discounted credit card processing fees and quality first line support. FNMS will be assigning an exclusive representative to work with RDCEA members to handle any issues that may arise.

The RDCEA is now working with FNMS to complete the needed agreements and hope to have those finalized and voted upon by June 30.

If you are an RDCEA member and you need to get setup right away with a merchant service company, please contact the RDCEA at 301-334-2230  and the association will work with you to get you setup with FNMS under the RDCEA agreement.

Here's how I look at my membership in the RDCEA.  
 
1) At only $60 I will more than recover that in savings just from one vendor with whom I do business.
 
2) It is much cheaper than my membership in my local Chamber of Commerce and my membership in that organization doesn't do anything for me.  No legal representation, no advertising, no promotion.  Nothing, nada.
 
3) This is growing and will continue to grow and get stronger.  I am glad to be in on the ground floor.  I enjoy participating on the member forum to share ideas, successes, frustrations (and how to deal with frustrations).
 
4) It is just plain encouraging to know that there are many other independents out there who are doing the same thing I do day in and day out and are not going to give into our big box culture and let those mega stores rule the world.

Just one RDCEA Members comments.
Very well said and some great points for CE dealers to consider. There is strength in numbers.

BILL PAYMENT

Over 500 million bill payments were made in person last year. The industry is expected to grow into a 25 billion industry with a growth rate of 20% per year. Approximately 30% of the US population lacks basic checking or savings accounts. This means that this segment of the US population needs a safe and convenient way to pay all their bills. These customers will seek you out.

Best Telecom can supply you with a program that will allow your customers to pay thousands of bills, from utilities to car payments to mortgage payments to credit card payments and everything in between. Your cost will be 90 cents/bill; the customer will pay an average of 2.00 dollars/bill. The math looks good, doesn't it?

Please remember we also have pins for wireless carriers including Verizon as well as LD cards.

Of course, all this can be done on your POS terminal or PC!
