NEG adds card support service

The National Eyecare Group has introduced a merchant card service agreement so that members can save money on practice credit and debit card transactions.

The group said it has combined the services of Accept Cards, Elavon Merchant and Salamander Rentals to maximise savings.

Card service agent Accept Cards is overseeing the project and offering support to NEG's 900 members as they transfer from their existing provider. The rates with Elavon are 1.22 per cent for credit cards, 1.92 per cent for business credit cards and 0.14p for debit cards, with Salamander supplying terminals for as little as £16.50 plus VAT per month.
