Looking ahead - 2011
As we are approaching the end of 2010, our thoughts start to the holidays and all the fun they will bring with them and what 2011 might be like. CCNJ would like to know - what do you think 2011 will be like for you and your business? Do you think the economy is going to improve for your business? Do you plan on expanding your operations or maybe cut back?

2010 Holiday Season
If you are like most people, you cannot believe that 2010 has flown by so quickly! I know that I am still amazed at how quick the year seems to have gone by - it seems like only yesterday I was celebrating the holidays with friends and family and now it's time to start thinking of shopping for everyone on my list again! Time to sit in the malls and figure out what to get everyone or try and find something online that will fit each person's individual character and needs. Or, if I am absolutely out of ideas, I may just end up with gift cards for some people.
If you're a business owner, you might want to pay close attention to the statement above - gift cards are among the most preferred gifts and the stores that have a program in place before November 10-15th will be able to make many more sales as people searching for the perfect gift end up with a gift card.
Credit Cards, NJ can help you get all setup and provide you with everything that you may need to be able to effectively sell the gift cards to your customers in time for this holiday season. Plus, did you know that the same plastic card can be used as a loyalty card too and keep track of your customer's spending habits and incentivize repeat purchases?
Check out our gift card page for more details and sign up today!
Here's to wishing you and yours a lovely and happy holiday season,

Crazy statements
Like most business owners, you probably only glance at your credit card processing statement and guess that the information presented on the statements is correct because you simply do not understand what is being presented in the manner it is presented. Or you may choose to simply let your accountant or bookkeeper figure it out for you and confirm the information is correct or if there is an issue to advise you of the same.
What are you to do if you just want to be able to understand your statements?
The answer is simple. If you call Credit Cards, NJ, we'll walk you through what your statement means and even come up with ways to provide you with a savings over your existing rates. For our current clients, you already know how easy we make your statements and how quick we are to respond to any questions that you may have regarding your account(s) with CCNJ. How great is that?
What are you waiting for? CCNJ is standing by ready to answer your calls.

Guaranteed Savings!
You might be asking yourself how Credit Cards, NJ can guarantee me savings. It's really simple - we do!
CCNJ has several tools in our arsenal to help you save money. For starters, we work with you to determine where you're overspending and will then create a new account (most likely at a different processor) for you to help you pay the right amount every time. We will also work with you down the line to ensure that you are still paying the right amount and that you are not overpaying. We're only more than happy to sit down and do a statement analysis with you on an annual basis to show you we're still saving you money. To utilize this analysis service, please feel free to contact your sales agent either through our Credit Cards, NJ site or by contacting your rep directly.
We also have a tool in our arsenal for those merchants who may have recently signed up for a processing program with another provider and to whom an early termination fee would apply should you leave. This program will work with our clients and negotiate on your behalf with your current provider. The process is a really easy one - it consists of completing a two page form giving us the authority to act on your behalf and then speaking with your provider. Should we save you any money, we split the savings - you've got nothing to lose by giving us a shout!
We hope that this posting will be able to help all businesses start putting more money into their respective pockets and thereby boosting our sagging economy - call it CCNJ's economic stimulus plan!

Do you offer free terminals?
Many times we hear the question "Do you offer free terminals?" For those of you who may not be familiar with the idea behind free terminals, it may sound like a great idea - who wouldn't want to keep their up-front costs as low as possible?
I'd bet you also heard of the old adage, "there's no such thing as a free lunch!" That saying is certainly true here. If you think about it, there is a clear cost to the piece of equipment a sales force is giving away - from a small PINpad to a full Point-of-Sale (POS) system, the costs range between $100-$5,000 and more based on the configuration of the equipment. How can someone afford to give away that much money without getting something in return? The answer becomes clear now - YOU are paying for that free equipment, be it through high annual fees, higher downgrades (the rewards, and mid-qualified/non-qualified surcharges) and many other fees that can appear on your application. For all the extra expenses you'll be taking on during the life of your account with the processor who gave you free equipment, don't you think it's probably better just to buy a terminal now? Plus, the added benefit is that you will own your machine, and should you ever need to switch providers, you can take your terminal with you - don't put yourself and your business at risk.
If you have any questions on free equipment, please feel free to contact the sales people at Credit Cards, NJ - they'll be more than happy to give you all the information you need and show you why it's still better to own your equipment outright, plus with our low cost equipment, you really cannot go wrong!

Security Alert
Visa Security Alert, 8/25/2008: 'Packet Sniffing Vulnerability'
Visa released a data security alert yesterday on packet sniffers.
Computer hackers are using packet sniffers to breach data security and obtain cardholder data.
Packet sniffers are malicious software or “malware” and may be referred to as a network or protocol analyzer. The sniffers seize a stream or block of data (a packet) being transmitted or passed on a network.
Sniffers are often used for legitimate business purposes such as network analysis, monitoring of network usage or firewall testing. An increase in data security breaches from packet sniffers has prompted the alert. Investigations have shown packet sniffers capturing cardholder data on transactions passed on the compromised businesses’ computer networks.
Visa recommends the following best practices to mitigate your vulnerability to a packet sniffer attack in their alert:
“Although packet sniffing is difficult to detect, you can utilize tactics to mitigate the risk of exposure to critical systems, such as point-of-sale (POS) systems, payment processing servers, database servers or other servers where cardholder data resides. To get started, follow these best practices:
• Utilize host-based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)
• Monitor firewalls for suspicious traffic, particularly outbound traffic to unknown addresses
• Implement file integrity monitoring
• Secure workstations so packet sniffers or other malware cannot be installed
• Utilize encrypted protocols or encryption to protect sensitive data
• Use packet sniffers legitimately to detect network intrusion attempts or suspicious activity on a network
• Ensure that anti-virus and anti-spyware software programs are up-to-date
• Routinely examine systems and networks for newly-added hardware devices”
More information on packet sniffing is available at www.visa.com/cisp or netsecurity.about.com/cs/hackertools/a/aa121403.htm

Governments making it simple to pay our taxes
In a recent report issued by the Council of State Governments called “Acceptance and Use of Electronic Payments for State Taxes and Fees,” state governments are increasingly using electronic payments, such as credit card and ACH processing, as a method to collect taxes and fees. Of the 33 states that replied, 91% of the respondents said they were using an electronic payment program and most said they were even planning on expanding their existing programs.
The following benefits were the most commonly cited and considered the most important:
Just as regular businesses are realizing the importance of collecting payments more efficiently, so are governmental institutions. Whether you’re collecting a local tourist tax, driver’s license fee, or state income tax, government offices will reap the benefits of increased efficiencies and taxpayers will appreciate the convenience and expediency.
