Companies in Dubai have the possibility to offer varied ways of payment for their clients, such as the use of credit or debit cards for payments in shops or at the firms’ business places, payments via the email or the company’s website. These are the most important types of payments for which a merchant account is necessary. One should know that if he/she wants to set up a merchant account, the company’s documents and several application forms must be provided to the bank or to the financial institution chosen for such service. For instance, entrepreneurs can choose the same bank where the initial deposit was added to the registration of the company if such requirement was mandatory. They can benefit from numerous advantages like tax-free for any other services offered by their chosen bank.

 

If the merchant account has been created, the next step is to install a POS (point-of-sale) terminal necessary for payments with the credit or debit card at the place of the business. As for the online payments, the merchandiser or the business owner needs to solicit the services of an IT company which can implement the online payment system.
