I know that you are making sure that patient information is being protected and kept private, but are you sure that their sensitive payment data is protected? Your credit card processing system could be easy on your budget but may be susceptible to easy hacking. Let me tell you why making sure that that does not happen is paramount.
If you want me to do all the comparison work for you to make sure that you have the best credit card processing fit for your veterinary clinic, set up a free 30-minute consultation, risk-free!
One of the biggest things that people do not know is the difference between EMV chips and magnetic strip card reading. EMV chip processors come with the extra layer of protection called tokenization. Once entered the system will guard their true 16-digit number with randomized numbers. This keeps their information safe from anyone who could try to hack in and access the system. If your credit card processing only takes magnetic strip reads where you must swipe the card, it won’t have this added feature.
I also want you to get rid of the notion that your business is too small for a data breach situation. A bank of America report shows that 41% of small businesses suffered a data breach that ended up costing them more than $50,000! The unfortunate thing that happens is most of the small businesses who suffer a breach do not know that it has even happened until the damage has already been done. If this were to happen to you then you would have a mandatory investigation audit that can cost your business around $36,000. Knowing your credit card processing security guarantees is especially important because if you have “low level” protection it can leave your business responsible for the added costs of identity protection for all the victims, card replacements for the victims, fines, and legal fees.
With all of that information about how important knowing the security of your credit card processing system, how confident are you that your veterinary clinic is doing its best to protect your patient’s sensitive information?
