What services does NTC Texas offer?

NTC Texas’ available services revolve around payment processing and related financial services, such as gift cards, QuickBooks accounting integration, and dynamic currency conversion services. In addition to traditional in-person point of sale processing, NTC Texas offers healthcare payments, mobile processing, and online processing.

Healthcare Payments

NTC Texas has a division specifically for handling healthcare payment processing and patient billing. In addition to being able to accept traditional credit and debit cards, you can take HSA and FSA account payments.

Mobile Processing

Taking payments with a smartphone or tablet is an increasingly popular option, especially for smaller businesses and those who are regularly on the road. Food trucks, contractors, vendors at fairs, delivery businesses and more can take advantage of mobile processing convenience with NTC Texas. Magtek’s eDynamo card readers are available for use with Apple, Android, and Windows phones.

Online Processing

For accepting credit cards online, NTC Texas offers ecommerce solutions with shopping cart or recurring billing options. NTC Texas online processing is compatible with both the Authorize.Net gateway, and PaymentCare patient portal for healthcare businesses.

Check Acceptance

Some customers prefer to pay with checks, and it can help your sales to not turn them away. But there’s always the risk of a bounced check, right? With NTC Texas, you can minimize that risk with electronic check conversion to authorize checks at the time of sale. NTC Texas also works with eCheck.Net to allow check acceptance online.

Gift Cards

If you’re looking to take advantage of the popularity of gift cards, NTC Texas offers an electronic gift card program. Gift cards can be sold and accepted as easily as a credit card through your usual machine. As with other payment types, you can view transaction details in your reporting dashboard.

QuickBooks Plug-Ins

For businesses that use or want to use the popular accounting software, NTC Texas offers integration with QuickBooks through the use of plug-ins.

Additionally, NTC Texas offers Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), allowing your international clients to pay in their home currency. DCC supports payments in British pounds, Euros, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, and Japanese yen.

Can I get reports?

Yes. NTC Texas offers MerchantConnect, a real-time reporting dashboard that’s web-based so you can access it from almost anywhere. There’s no software to purchase, and you can view chargebacks, deposits, interchange qualification, and more.

What about equipment?

For equipment, NTC Texas offers a small selection of machines from Ingenico, Hypercom, or Verifone. Features vary by model, but EMV chip card terminals are available.

NTC Texas also offers options for accessories like barcode scanners, QR code scanners, cash drawers, receipt printers, and tablet stands.

The company references a “lease or purchase” program, and includes information about leasing options from Ladco leasing. In general, leasing credit card machines is not a good idea. Be sure to carefully weigh your options when choosing how to pay for equipment.

NTC Texas Rates and Fees

NTC Texas offers a “Clear and Simple” plan for businesses processing less than $25,000/year in credit cards. It doesn’t provide information on what the exact rates are, but specifies that the simple pricing includes all fees. The Clear and Simple plan is designed for the kind of businesses that would normally use rival Square, so it’s possible that the costs would be similar as well.
