Happy Holidays!

Fraud Alert!

We have had several reports of out of state credit card processors representing themselves as Frontline. They claim that your terminals are out of compliance and then reprogram it to their processing service or sell you another terminal. Not only are they deceiving hard working business owners, they are getting them to sign new contracts with higher pricing! If you have been approached by someone claiming to be Frontline, please let us know! [email protected]


Do you know a business that needs a FREE EMV- Chip card terminal?

All businesses need to be able to accept the new EMV- chip cards.
 
Fact: 575 million chip- cards will be issued by the end of the year.

The new cards offer additional security and are replacing the older magnetic strip cards. The new cards are inserted rather than swiped which means many businesses will need a new terminal that accepts this type of card.

We are providing FREE EMV chip card terminals, a $600 value, to help our merchants have a smooth EMV transition.

Holiday Scams!

Watch out for impostors. 
The credit card processing industry sees a lot of fraud in the form of independent sales agents posing as members of other companies. If your business is approached by a representative that you are unfamiliar with, please feel free to contact Frontline Processing directly at 1-866-651-3068 to verify their identity! Red flags: asking for sensitive info, altered contracts and no proper identification.

Look out for suspicious online or phone orders.
Card-not-present sales, like e-commerce and phone orders, are often targeted by scammers. Use Address Verification (AVS) and Card Security Codes (CSC) in order to verify that the buyer has the actual credit card! Red flags: large quantity orders with no customer contact, rush orders for large volumes, and discrepancies in billing and shipping addresses.

Did you know that 80% of all breaches happen to small businesses? 
Prevent breaches by becoming EMV- chip card and mobile wallet-capable.
According to Help Net Security, 93% of consumers are afraid of credit card fraud. Consumers may change the way they pay this holiday season. Use of Near Field Communication (NFC) mobile payment services like Apple Pay and Google Wallet as well as the safer EMV chip cards may increase. 
Make your business NFC and EMV capable with our FREE EMV chip and NFC ready terminal! 1-866-651-3068
