I recently acquired the Helcim "Smart Terminal" and it is a joy to use, a very good investment. Helcim is a big factor in the success of my small author and publishing business.

App is smooth, Terminal is amazing - the most reliable we’ve ever had - and the fees are half of what we’d pay elsewhere.
