What kinds of payments can I accept?
At Signature Payments, we support all major debit and credit cards offered by Mastercard®, Visa®, American Express® and Discover®. Your gym merchant account also allows you to securely accept payments made via check, mobile wallet or electronic benefit transfer (EBT).
Do I need special hardware to start accepting payments?
It depends. For face-to-face transactions, you’ll need a physical point-of-sale (POS) reader. This can be a dedicated POS terminal or a smart device that is capable of reading credit and debit card information.
If you sell online, you won’t need any hardware. Instead, all transactions will go through your payment gateway, which is the online equivalent of a physical POS reader.
Can I join Signature Payments if I’m not based in the U.S.?
As a principal, you do not need to be based in the U.S. Though to process transactions with us, you must have a U.S. legal entity, and a permanent U.S. business address, bank account and signer based in the U.S.
