Wall Street may be excited about the consolidation we are continuing to see in the payment processing industry... but when your business is just a "number" out of the hundreds of thousands of accounts that are getting lumped together, is your business still getting the attention you deserve? When is the last time your account rep contacted you to see how everything was going or review your current pricing? How complicated is navigating the phone system when you have a question? How long do you have to wait on hold when you have a question? These are just some of the things to consider when deciding who should be handling your payment processing needs.

Atlanta-based Global Payments will be added to the S&P 500 after the close of trading Friday.

This is one more reminder why it is critical to update your credit card terminal to accept EMV "chip" cards. With old-fashioned magnetic stripe cards it takes these brazen thieves just seconds to install an invisible card skimmer!

This unsettling video, released by Miami Beach Police in Florida, shows just how little time is needed for thieves to install a card skimmer on a credit card terminal.

In the video, two of the thieves first distract the clerks working behind the counter of this convenience store, so the third accomplice can quickly attach a card skimmer atop the store’s existing card reader. It all happens in just seconds, and neither the store clerks, nor follow-up customers, would be able to spot the skimmer.

Someone eventually did realize what happened, which led to the local police using the store’s surveillance camera footage to pinpoint exactly when the skimmer was installed. It’s an alarming story!
