		<description>Hi Hugh

Sorry for smiling, your stories 'ring' a bell ;-)
We accept cards, BAC's - bank to bank online transfers, quite handy! -, cash and even old-fashion cheques in our business. Any which way a client wants to part with his money - in exchange of 'value for money' of course!

Credit card payments do come with a 3% surcharge we are allowed to - and do - add-on to the client paying this way. Debit cards however are free for our clients to use - we gladly accept the £ 0.60 that it costs us (knowing the average amount that is being paid per transaction in our business, over £ 1000.00)

A 'colleague'-friend in the same trade doesn't accept 'plastic': too much hassle to set up. So he misses out on 'on the spot decisions' by prospects. Too much hassle? Yes, for the prospect to go back to his shop with his cheque book or after a visit to an ATM to get cash.
