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!
