Free terminal program: POS placement at no equipment cost
Eligible businesses are placed on a card terminal or full point of sale system at no equipment cost as part of a processing program — configured, installed and supported locally. Eligibility is based on business type and processing profile, and placement is subject to underwriting approval.
Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM PT. Saturday by appointment.
What “free terminal” means here
It means the equipment carries no purchase cost to you. It is placed as part of your processing program and stays part of that program while your account is active. It does not mean card acceptance is free: interchange and network assessments are set by the card brands and always apply. We explain which is which in writing before you sign.

Which businesses tend to qualify
Placement availability depends on your business type and how you take cards. These are the setups we most often place equipment for — a specialist confirms yours.

Restaurants, cafés and quick service
Counter or handheld ordering, tips, printed tickets and online-order integrations.
Service and mobile businesses
Salons, repair shops, contractors and field service that take payment away from a fixed counter.
Businesses replacing older equipment
