Operators praise merchant processing technology firm’s responsiveness, technical expertise, competitive fees
CHARLESTON, S.C. (June 14, 2010) – Electronic Transaction Systems (ETS), a leading provider of merchant processing technology, has renewed its multi-year commitment to the NGCOA and will continue as the association’s preferred credit card processing supplier.
The Sterling, Va.-based firm has been a Preferred Supplier of the NGCOA and a member of the NGCOA Purchasing Network since 2005.
“We’re delighted to continue our association with the NGCOA and its members,” said Ed Vaughan, president and CEO of the privately held company. “Our products are ideally suited to course owners and operators, and we look forward to continuing to serve their needs.”
Among other benefits, NGCOA members receive a discount on ETS’ high-speed, wireless payment solution that enables operators to accept payments from anywhere on the course and view real-time purchase updates electronically.
ETS also offers gift and loyalty programs, POS check and ATM services, and provides complimentary credit card terminals and receipt paper.
In recent years, ETS has helped operators become compliant with the latest Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, reducing their chances of a security breach and legal exposure.
NGCOA members consistently praise the company’s customer service, technical expertise and competitive fees.
“They are responsive, the process is easy and user friendly, and best of all, the fees are the lowest I have ever paid for our credit card processing service,” said Del Ratcliffe, owner of Ratcliffe Golf Services, Inc. in Charlotte, NC.
“Not only did we change over the credit card processing for all of our properties to ETS due to the very competitive pricing, we were also able to enrich our customer service programs by introducing gift cards at each property,” said Janice Norton of CourseCo, Inc., a Petaluma, Calif.-based management company that operates golf facilities throughout Northern California.
