Cash (and Credit) is King – So, Wear the Crown: Verizon Wireless and Intuit Roll Out Enhanced GoPayment
Getting paid is a major hurdle for SMBs as many do not have the capability to accept credit card payments. Verizon Wireless and Intuit helped changed that in mid-2011 when we teamed up to deliver GoPayment, for Verizon Wireless customers in the sole proprietorship or SMB arena.
With a brick and mortar store, it may not be an issue if credit cards are not accepted as patrons are used to your policies, they simply go to a nearby ATM to get cash. However, for business owners who travel, go to trade shows, fairs, or carry their products in a truck, a device to accept payment – credit card payments – is a must. Click here to see how a Verizon Wireless customer made a leap forward to use this new technology and how easy it was for her to accept credit card payments.

While the majority of GoPayment users will have their transaction swipes posted to a bank account, a newly introduced feature enables users to have their funds deposited to an Intuit GoPayment prepaid Visa card, eliminating the need for a bank routing and account number. Users can spend, withdraw, or transfer $$$ to another account.
