Frequently Asked Questions
How do I sign up for the Bling Nation Mobile Payment Service?
Bling Nation mobile payment services are provided through local financial institutions to their customers. To find a FI in your area that offers Bling Nation services or a Bling Nation Business Representative, visit our Join and Find Members page.
What do I need to get started?
You will need a Blinger, which Bling Nation provides when you sign up. The Blinger device simply plugs in to an electrical outlet at your point of sale. There is no integration required with your POS.
How much does the service cost?
Processing cost depends on the volume of customer BlingTag transaction. However, many businesses use the Bling mobile payment service to reduce their card processing fees. You can save up to 50 percent in processing fees, compared to the large payment processors.
How do I know it's secure?
Transaction data is encrypted and transmitted securely over the BlingLink wireless payment network, where it is processed and settled in real time. The Bling Nation network and devices are compliant with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. Customers do not sign anything, nor is any personal information stored on the Blinger or on the customer's BlingTag.
How do I market the service?
Bling Nation provides marketing materials, such as decals, tent cards, posters, and advertising templates to you for use in advertising and posting on your web site.
