Hi, Paul,

I've been in the credit card industry for years, and I work with convenience stores that rely on me for many of their services (ATMs, credit card processing, check guarantee, etc.). Many want to be set up to take money orders, and I would like to know if you know of anyone I can hook up with to sell for them. Please help me find this out.

Best regards,

Tom Griffith

Getting the Right Price

Hi, Paul,

In GSQ vol. 5, no. 4 (November 2002), you mention that The Green Sheet has decided not to publish pricing information on the terminal population. I for one am very interested in finding out this type of information. I need to be able to gauge if I am paying the "fair market value" for terminals and peripherals, especially when dealing with wireless terminals. Can you help?

James

James:

Your best bet for verifying your pricing is to post a question to the ISO Forum at Green Sheet Online (www.greensheet.com/forum/). This Internet space, sponsored by The Green Sheet, is specifically for ISOs in the payment-processing industry to share information.

What Qualifies?

How can I get a copy of requirements and qualifications to become an ISO/MSP? I have heard so many different stories I do not know what to believe. Thanks for being a great source of industry news and information. Budd Midkiff

Thanks for the positive feedback. Please check out our Industry FAQs for information on how to get started in this industry (www.greensheet.com/industryfaq.html), including information on registration requirements with the bankcard associations. Also, be sure to check out "Knowledge is Power," written by Bob Carr. This series currently is being updated in The Green Sheet; however, the archived series has a great deal of relevant information.
