Many companies that want to accept credit cards but do not have the resources to personally manage their own payment processing have found that outsourcing their merchant services can give them the best of both worlds.Now even the U.S. government seems to have caught on to the trend, with electronic payment processing firm VeriFone announcing this week that the facilities management provider for the U.S. Army and Navy has selected VeriFone's PAYWare Transact payment solution.
Vermont Systems (VSI) provides software for managing recreation and parks operations for municipal, county, state and federal military governmental entities, deploying its software to Army and Navy facilities across the world.
The Java-based PAYware Transact provided by VSI will enable customer-facing payment card acceptance in approximately 3,000 Army and Navy facilities.
"PAYware Transact provides us with the PCI compliant card acceptance and payment processing component," said Giles Willey, president of VSI. "This relieves us of the need to develop specialized skills in the ever-changing payments area, isolates the payment function from our core application code, and provides our customers with assurance their applications will remain PCI compliant moving forward."
Merchants in any sector are also encouraged to maintain up-to-date POS terminals that are PCI compliant, turning to third-party payment processing providers if necessary.
