SERVICE UPDATES
Processing has
wireless option
WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY is
freeing merchants to process
credit-card transactions anywhere
and at the lowest rates earned for
card-swiped transactions.
You likely see examples every
day that could benefit from wireless transaction capability—
vendors in open-air markets, mobile
windshield-repair services, home
pest exterminators, carpet cleaners and many more. The point of
sale can now be anywhere the
transaction occurs.
Many merchants are also
enthusiastic about wireless terminals allowing expansion to
more points of sale within their
existing business. Adding a drive-through window, self-service
kiosk or additional checkout
lanes during peak business times
are just a few examples of how
wireless transactions can make a
business flexible.
NOVA, Costco’s merchant
credit-card processing provider,
relies on the VeriFone VX 610
wireless terminal for quick and
secure high-speed transaction
processing—a good solution for
mobile or remote businesses.
For more information about
NOVA’s wireless support, call
1-800-616-1347 (priority code
83112), or visit costco.com and

PRACTICAL TIPS
High-yield savings for members
ONE OF THE BEST deals for
consumers who are considering
savings growth options continues
to be online high-yield money
market accounts.
“Costco members are looking for consistently great rates
and easy access to their money,
but, just as important, they don’t
want to pay fees in order to earn a
great rate,” says Pam Girardo,
spokesperson for Capital One
Direct Banking. “Members can
take advantage of our money
market account through Costco,
and earn at a much better rate
than most traditional savings
accounts can offer.”
Along with high interest
rates, Capital One Direct Banking
accounts also include other benefits such as no fees, free checks,
ATM cards and ease of transfers
to and from other bank accounts
(withdrawal limits apply). Costco
Executive Members receive an
additional benefit on their first
Capital One Direct Banking
account opened through Costco.

Capital One money market
accounts, call toll-free 1-866-630-

for a 30-day posting, compared
to $419 for nonmembers. A
volume discount applies: six to

$195 each, compared to $325
for nonmembers.
Executive Members qualify
for the Smart Job™ option,
a $149 value at no additional
charge with a job posting.
