Credit Card Machines

New government regulations mean that any business that takes credit card payments, regardless of business size, will have to tighten up the requirements regarding the transmission of customer credit card data from their machines. And as the last couple of years have shown us all, poor handling of customer privacy and information is a sure fire way to guarantee bad publicity and to dent consumer confidence in your business.

Anyone not upgrading their machine could be liable under the Data Protection Act for failing to take adequate care of their clients' information. Set to roll out within the next two years, the rule changes mean that many small businesses – some of whom rely on traditional low speed, poor contention telephony services – are taking the opportunity to secure customer data and improve speed by upgrading to a Shine Telecom high speed, good contention broadband service. It's the perfect complement to the upgrades your merchant will recommend to your customer facing machine.

Shine Telecom knows that its clients with customer-facing terminals need a speedy and secure connection for their credit card machines and our existing network of broadband provision is ideal for this purpose.
