Can anyone recommend a service that we can use to accept the occasional credit card payment? We rarely get asked to accept payments by credit card so its hardly worth setting a permanent facility however it would be handy to have a way to take payments by credit card now and then.
I have just been through this exercise for work. We are processing 1-2 transaction a month.
With Amex we have signed up as a merchant directly with Amex. We just submit a manual hand written voucher and send it through. Money is in our account the next day.
For Visa/Mastercard we have signed up with ANZ (we use them for banking) and use an automated phone service to do a manual transaction. We haven't done this yet but will likely be doing it next month.
For a few transactions a month all online services were very expensive.

Thanks, we wouldnt even do 1 a month, more like 2 or 3 per year so will look at that option with our bank.
edit: pricing from $50/month up to 100 transactions, setup fee $150. But I'm pretty sure it will be cheaper than anything your bank can offer.
Requires a merchant account from your bank, so not so much. The added feeds of a merchant account literally double that (unless you're with Westpac, who bundle DPS Hosted with their merchant accounts for about $40 a month).
