PIN Based Debit Transactions

Just about every credit card machine has the ability to have a PIN (person identification number) Pad and have their customers run a debit transaction or a credit card transaction. Some machines even have a built in PIN Pad which means less clutter for the merchant and still allows customers to enter their PIN. External PIN Pads are possible too, this device is hooked up to the machine and allows the customers to enter their PIN.

Some merchants prefer their customers using the external PIN Pad because they don't want their customers handling the credit card machine. One huge benefit of the PIN based transaction is that the merchant is charged a transaction fee and not a percentage rate; this keeps their costs down.

Eagle Merchant Services offers PIN Pads both internal and external for all of their retail merchants.
