Thanks to PostFinance’s “Combo payment methods”, Archetti Vini d’Italia AG is benefiting twice over: it has lower costs for payments collected at the payment terminal and a clear portal for all of its payments.
Discover your savings potential, too.
Archetti Vini d’Italia has been importing and selling exquisite wines from Italy for over 30 years (find out more at archetti.ch). But which wine goes with the food you’re planning to make for your guests? Which prosecco is best for your business’s welcome reception? At the enoteca in Bassersdorf, customers receive personal advice – regardless of whether they’re looking for the perfect party gift or they regularly shop here for their wine.
The one thing that they all have in common is they prefer to pay by card. This makes it all the more important for the family business that collecting payments at the payment terminal is as easy and inexpensive as possible. “When our PostFinance customer advisor showed us the benefits of Combo payment methods, we were immediately convinced,” says Marisa Archetti, who is responsible for accounting at Archetti Vini d’Italia. In the spring, the company decided to switch their acquiring providers.
This has had a double benefit. “First, there’s a financial benefit, because commission fees are lower on certain cards, which pays off especially with higher purchase volumes. Secondly, my administrative workload for monthly financial statements is smaller,” she says. There used to be two different bills in two portals, but now there’s only one covering all cards, including the PostFinance Card. “Now we have everything rolled up into one: this saves us valuable time month after month,” adds Marisa Archetti. Both the changeover and the follow-up went smoothly. She could always rely on her advisor and the support service if she had any questions.
“I can only recommend that other companies take a closer look at acquiring,” she says. “You’re often not even aware of the details of the costs you incur for payment collection. If you take a closer look and compare the offers with the conditions and services, you can save a lot of time and money.” Not to mention that less time on background work means more time for your core business – especially valuable for SMEs.
If you want to accept card payments at your terminal, you can’t do this without a company that takes care of the acquiring process. The acquirer ensures the proper processing and forwarding of transactions, and credits the appropriate amount to your account. They are responsible for ensuring everything runs smoothly and securely.

With PostFinance, you can buy a payment terminal, conclude an acquiring agreement and receive credits to your PostFinance business account – all from a single source.
