Tannen & Associates is committed to providing its clients with the utmost in personal attention and service. We offer a full service PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliance program designed to educate our clients about their responsibilities under the current PCI directives. Most merchants are not aware of the necessity of following these directives, as well as meeting the latest technological requirements – a potentially devastating oversight in the event of a data breach.
Our company will show you where your organization falls short of meeting the mandatory PCI requirements, and provide a complete set of materials, forms, policies and procedures necessary to help you reach your goal of PCI Compliance. Our commitment to customer satisfaction has earned our organization the prestigious Diamond Certified award for two consecutive years.
In addition to our excellent customer service and PCI Compliance Program, we also offer access to state-of-the art Point-of-Sale (POS) technology and equipment through United Bank Card (UBC) to assist with our merchants' needs, including authorization and processing services for the following:
Tannen & Associates clients will receive a free United Bank Card Electronic Cash Register (ERC) System with integrated credit card processing, when they open a new merchant account with UBC. Two different packages are currently available for retail and for restaurants and both will include integrated PCI secure payment processing. We also provide specialty services such as electronic age verification, paper check guarantee and check conversion.
Free Cash Registers
With our POS Systems, retail merchants can manage inventory, set multiple pricing structures, integrate electronic payments, identify best selling items and monitor employee productivity.
POS Systems
Our UBC equipment includes registered transaction processors for Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, Diners Club, and JCB credit cards, which work seamlessly with all forms of commerce, including: retail, restaurant, supermarket, hotel/lodging, auto rental, gas stations, mail order, telephone order, home based and e-commerce Internet merchant accounts.
Credit Cards
UBC is connected to all of the major ATM, EBT and debit networks including: NYCE, STAR, Explorer, Pulse, Maestro, Shazam, Cash Station, Jeanie, MPACT, AFFN, Quest and the Visa Interlink Network. Merchants can easily incorporate debit card processing into any existing or new credit card terminal by simply adding a pin pad, and our more advanced terminals come with built in pin pads. Advantages include a significant reduction in fraud and charge backs for the merchant. Options such as “debt surcharges” and “cash back” are also available with debit card acceptance.
Debit Cards
A business "cash advance" is an excellent and often overlooked source of short-term financing. This is not a loan product; this is an advance against future receivables and provides an effective solution for any cash flow problem. The majority of applications are approved within 48 hours and funds are usually received within seven business days.
Business Cash Advances
We assist merchants in the set up of Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT), which is the industry standard for the distribution of cash benefits and food stamps. Most supermarkets and urban retailers have signed up to accept EBT cards. This requires the merchant to have an approved FNS/FCS number from their state agriculture department which can be processed from an internal or external pin pad. EBT transactions are processed through the Quest debit network for a minimal processing fee which is passed on to the merchant.
Electronic Benefits Transfer
United Bank Card has managed to reduce the cost of this service to make it cost-effective for small retail and even start-up merchants to participate in this program. We offer both standardized and customized gift card packages, which can be substituted for cash when issuing refunds, promotions and generating additional revenue from non-redeemed cards.
