Card Connect Now

In 2009 the county was in severe economic decline with the crash of the housing market nationwide. Recognizing that many businesses were hard hit, the founder of CARD CONNECT NOW (Las Colinas #3 Sale’s Agency of Card Connect A First Data Company) began making door to door calls, reaching out to hurting local businesses. With the idea of offering low flat discount rates, no transaction fees, free loaner credit card terminals and customer support, his service grew from grass roots and word of mouth. Mid Covid-19 pandemic, businesses are again reeling from the shutdowns. There has never been a more important time for merchants to save money. Oftentimes, their merchant processing credit card fees are overlooked as an avenue to cut costs.

CARD CONNECT NOW (Las Colinas #3 a Sales Agency of Card Connect A First Data Company) continues to help business not only with low flat rate discount processing, but by offering free loaner credit card terminals including the Cover Flex credit card terminal, and the FD-150. These are state- of- the- art credit card terminals.

CARD CONNECT NOW (Las Colinas #3 a Sales Agency of Card Connect A First Data Company) services merchants throughout the country, offering a variety of payment options, including a full gateway combined with merchant’s accounts, chip to pin credit card terminals, telephone payments, and virtual terminals. Thousands of software companies are certified on and will integrate on the Card Connect/ First Data platform.
