Avoid Credit Card Processing Rate Increases With Solveras

Solveras Payment Systems, the newest Member Advantage company, offers members and home builders associations the chance to avoid the Visa® and MasterCard® processing rate increase that the credit card company recently announced.

Solveras Payment Systems has negotiated a special deal for NAHB members that will allow you to avoid upcoming increases by Visa® and MasterCard® if you contact Solveras no later than Friday, June 30 and lock in pre-increase processing. Solveras, which originally offered this deal during the month of May, has extended it through June. 

If you accept credit cards and don’t contact Solveras, these increases could significantly impact your bottom line.

Add that to the Solveras’ regular discounts on credit card processing, simplified monthly billing and an easy-to-read account statement, and you’ll find an excellent opportunity to keep more profit on every credit card sale.

Visit www.nahb.org/ma to learn more about your free customized savings analysis and more information on new processing technology available to members

For more information, e-mail Tiffany Smith at NAHB, or call her at 800-368-5242 x8273.
