Payment cards offer consumers more security, convenience, and control than any other payment method. The wide variety of cards available—including credit, debit and prepaid—offers enormous flexibility, as well. Payment cards give consumers the power to purchase items in stores, on the Internet, through mail-order catalogues and over the telephone. They save merchants time and money, enable them to attract and retain more customers, and help them grow their businesses.
