Special Offer From Bank of America Ends December 31

A special offer from Bank of America Merchant Services, which waives the $75 set-up fee on credit card applications from ABA member bookstores that are new customers, and from existing customers that add locations, will come to an end on December 31.

Bank of America, an ABA affinity partner, offers competitive rates -- which can be as low as 1.91 percent for swipe transactions and 1.60 percent for check cards.

For more information, booksellers should contact Paula Kelly, vice president, BA Merchant Services, at [email protected] or (860) 523-6122, by December 22.

Applications may be sent to Kelly via e-mail or by fax to (617) 317-2760. All applications sent by December 31 will be honored.

During the holiday period, questions should be addressed to Bank of America's Customer Service Department at (800) 228-5882. After January 2, questions about Bank of America Merchant Services should be addressed directly to Kelly.
