Why should a business owner accept credit cards?

First MCS offers Payment Processing with the Lowest Fees, Point of Sale (POS), Loyalty Programs, Gift Cards, Virtual Terminal, Payment Gateway, Cash Advance and more. Research shows that credit cards increase the probability, speed, and size of customer purchases. Credit card processing allows funds to be transferred to your bank account in less than 48 hours, reduces fraud, and decreases collection costs. This can be a welcome relief for businesses that have tight cash flow. With our solutions, you can accept most types of payments – including credit card, debit card, check, and mobile transactions. First MCS provides the support, equipment, training, and supplies that you need to be up and running in no time. In addition to credit card processing, we provide electronic check services, cash advances, and gift cards. Visit our web site for more information at www.firstmcs.com. Cash Advance

With merchant cash advances, your business gets a lump sum payment in exchange for a share of future sales. This is a great option for retail, restaurant, and service companies that have strong credit card sales but have bad credit or little or no collateral. Our cash advance service loan agreements are tailored to your individual needs. A loan underwriter helps you determine how much money you can borrow, how long you have to pay it off, and what kinds of interest and fees you will incur. When applying for a loan, submit documentation about your business and its past performance, including credit card receipt evidence. Personal identification information, such as a social security card and driver’s license, is also needed. Each loan application length is different, but our turnaround time is usually less than 72 hours. Gift Cards

Why offer gift cards? Consumers love them, more than half your customers will spend more than the value of the card, they promote customer loyalty, and gift cards introduce new people to your business. Gift card programs boost sales all year and give your business an extra boost around gift-giving holidays. First MCS powers gift card programs for businesses and provides the reports needed to track purchases and liability.

🚨 **BUSINESS OWNERS: BE CAREFUL WITH “FREE POS” OFFERS!**

You've probably seen the ads:

💻 FREE POS SYSTEM
💳 ZERO PROCESSING FEES
🆓 FREE CLOVER
💰 NO COST TO YOU!

Sounds amazing… but **what's the catch?**

A “free” POS may come with higher processing rates, monthly fees, contracts, minimums, or other costs.

And “zero processing fees” doesn't always mean processing is actually free. The cost may simply be handled through a surcharge, cash discount, dual pricing, or another pricing structure.

**Before you sign, ask one simple question:**

👉 **“What am I REALLY paying?”**

At **First MCS, we believe in being completely transparent with our customers.**

We will never intentionally mislead you just to earn your business. We'll explain the pricing, explain the program, and make sure you understand exactly what you're getting.

Because your business deserves **straight answers—not gimmicks.**

If someone is offering you a “FREE POS” or “ZERO PROCESSING FEES,” **don't just take their word for it. Ask questions. Read the agreement. Know the numbers.**
