Okay this may be a hot topic, but something I am thinking off for the TEAS open days and any other events we may attend in a fund raising capacity. I sometimes find myself in a position where I want to spend more at fund raising events but have no more available cash and no cash machines nearby.

So I am thinking what if I could pay for stuff by debit card. We have the option of getting a card reader that doesnt cost TEAS any monthly charges, the only charge is on transactions and the rates are very low. The minimum amount we would be able to accept is £1

How would people feel if for example they were at the TEAS open day and they wanted £5 of cakes, would they be happy to pay by card?

Comments please
 
I think it's a great idea @karonus -saves carrying so much cash and loose change around. I'm sure it would be very welcome at events
 
Yes as a person who doesn't really like to carry much cash on me these days I think you cannot go wrong with having it.

Most places also have a minimum spend due to the rates so I would consider that and perhaps set it at the £5 minimum spend. I would imagine a lot of people would tend to spend that anyway especially when it is for a good cause. xx
 
:D These days, most people will pay with card rather than cash, so having a card-reader will probably help with sales quite a lot.
A lot of people assume that they can pay with card at places where maybe you wouldn't expect to find a card-reader, like at fun fairs and such.
