CardsSafe Protecting Assets
The CardsSafe system is specifically designed to securely retain customer credit , debit and ID cards while the cardholder runs a tab or hires a product or service .
While the initial focus was to prevent losses , the system is also used to increase turnover . BII ’ s Phil Dixon stated , “ if you want to increase spend you must retain cards ” and the best place to retain a card is in a CardsSafe unit . VISA has confirmed that venues which allow tabs have at least 30 % higher turnover .
