As a business owner, you're always looking for ways to streamline your operations and make things run more efficiently. One area that should stay top of mind is inarguably, payment processing - and for obvious reason (cha-ching, right?).

So, if you're still using, or are perhaps unsure of using a non-secure platform (otherwise referred to as a non-hosted payment gateway solution), then here's why it's time to switch to a secure (hosted) solution:

1. Protect Your Customers' Data

With a secure platform, you can better protect your customers' data from hackers and other cyber threats. Customer trust is essential to any business, so protecting their information should be a top priority.

And in today's fast-paced digital world, preventing cybercrime should be a major area of focus for any smart business. 

2. Save Money on Transaction Fees

What's not to love, right?! If protecting your customers' data weren't incentive enough, how about the fact that you can streamline your payments and save more money (without having to lift a finger). 

Many payment processors charge higher rates for businesses that don't use a secure platform. By switching to a secure solution, you can save money on every transaction.

3. Reduce the Risk of Fraud

When you use a secure payment platform, you add the quintessential layer of protection; rest assured your transactions are better protected from fraudsters as you're now utilizing a PCI-compliant payment gateway platform where the provider holds a PCI DSS certificate - 

In short, that provider removes this whole compliance burden from the merchant when storing and/or saving cardholder data (so you don't put your customers and your business at risk). This type of security is a must for any business selling products or services online. 

4. Acquire Peace of Mind

Perhaps the most important reason to switch to a secure payment platform is the peace of mind it offers knowing that your business is running as safely and securely as possible. Why take chances with something as important as payments?
