Services for Members
HEART of ENGLAND fine foods (HEFF) Third Party Services
HEART of ENGLAND fine foods has liaised closely with a number of organisations on behalf of members to bring you a range of services designed to support you and your business:
Accept Cards
Exclusive Discounted Rate on Card Processing Terminals and Card Transactions
If you accept or are thinking about accepting card payments from your customers then HEFF are working with Accept Cards, the UK’s leading independent consultancy, to secure the best possible rates for terminals to hire or buy. Whether you are looking for a fixed terminal, a Bluetooth terminal or a fully mobile GRPS terminal, HEFF members can benefit from reduced rates which are not available to individual businesses.
When you use a card processing terminal, you will also need a merchant account. Accept Cards have negotiated reduced rates with card processing banks to ensure transaction costs are kept to a minimum. Customers who have switched to Accept Cards have typically saved up to 40%.
