Need some ideas re. who to send to?

Google 'new business licenses _________(your city)'

You want the local .gov website -- NOT Chamber/Commerce or other.  If you need help searching, txt or email Barb.

Or....just drive to a nearby strip mall and drop postcards or brochures off with each biz.

We don't know about security, but  you can consider DWP the Baptist marketing plan:  Once In Always In.

Let's say that you became a DWP Agent 200 days ago. And you have done absolutely nothing.

What happens when you enroll an Agent? Answer: you make $100.

What happens when you enroll a Merchant? Answer: you make $50 + 20% residual on that merchant account. 

Some of you are confused and we have gotten  calls saying  "I didn't meet my 'quota'* and my 90 days is up -- do I have to pay again to get started again?"

The answer is No! you do not pay again.... all you have to do to get started is get started! Digital World Pay is designed to allow you to take care of your life situation and talk to merchants and talk to pre-agents as you can.  You're not penalized --  the 90 day window is simply to reward the fast-builders so tey can build a team of Agents without slowing down for merchant account qualifications. If you have anymore questions about this we'll be happy to discuss it.

 *DWP has NO QUOTAS.

LOS ANGELES TIMES:

This week, credit cards with chips are to become the standard

By Samantha Masunaga contact the reporter

Starting Thursday, most shoppers will no longer be swiping their new credit and debit cards into merchants' card readers to make purchases. They'll be inserting them instead — chip side first.
The new pieces of plastic that banks and other card issuers have been sending to customers contain a tiny metallic chip designed to reduce counterfeiting, just as similar Europay credit cards have cut such fraud throughout Europe.
The technology in the microchip makes it more difficult for criminals to forge fakes and easier for merchants to authenticate cardholders.

On Thursday, the credit card industry will add bite to its rollout by shifting liability for covering counterfeits to the party that has not adopted chip technology — either the merchant or the credit card issuer.

"To the extent that this cuts down on fraud, it's probably a win for everyone," said Michael Simkovic, an associate professor at Seton Hall University School of Law.

For merchants, this means ensuring their sales terminals accept the chip technology and contain a slot in their readers for the new cards. Unlike a card swiped quickly, a chip-enabled card must remain in the reader until the machine OKs its removal.
That longer processing time has made some customers uneasy. At a Home Depot in Burbank, Robert Montanez said he worried it would give criminals a greater opportunity to steal his data if the sales terminal were hacked.

"I don't trust it as much," said Montanez, 39, of San Fernando. "I leave it in way too long. The swipe is faster."
About 70% of credit cards will be chip-enabled by the end of the year, said Doug Johnson, senior vice president of payments and cybersecurity policy at the American Bankers Assn., the leading bank trade group.
Prepaid cards also are moving toward chip technology, but at a much slower rate because of a wider variety of offerings, lower value limits and less risk for merchants and card issuers, said Brian Riley, an executive at research firm CEB TowerGroup.
