Ken Woolard, owner of Way Back Yonder Antiques and Retail Alliance Board Member, took advantage of this member benefit and offered this testimonial:

“I highly recommend First National credit card services. After receiving my first monthly statement, I quickly compared it to my last monthly statement from the previous provider. Considering we paid freight for our new machine and a few minor set-up fees, my old provider was 3.0% of our credit sales and First National was 1.9% of our credit sales. The staff at First National is professional and eager to assist you on a personal level. Training on the new terminal was superior and when I asked for additional training materials for my staff, the materials arrived the next day. Upon opening my old provider's statement, I noticed a host of new fees and charges. It is encouraging to know First National and Retail Alliance will review the agreements every six months, to avoid hidden charges and excessive fees. Thank you Retail Alliance® and First National!”
