Globally, cash and check use is declining at a significant rate, and the construction industry is part of that trend. There is a cost for a construction business to accept credit cards, but most have found that the cost is worth the benefits.<\/p><p>The construction industry in Canada has more than 1.4 million people and generates around $141 billion in sales which is about 7.5% of Canada&#8217;s economy, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cca-acc.com\/about-us\/value-of-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canadian Construction Association<\/a>.

That&#8217;s understandable. Accepting credit cards means that the business has to pay merchant fees.\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align); font-size: 1rem;\">Many contractors used to only accept cash for work. One of the rarely talked about reasons for using cash is to reduce taxes that the contractor would pay. The world has become much more digital over the past 20 years and most modern construction companies think it&#8217;s not worth the risk and extra effort to be fully cash-based.<\/span><\/p><p>Today, the construction industry is moving digital. There are many reasons this is happening, but these are the top:<\/p><p><b style=\"background-color: transparent; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align);\">Buyers are asking to pay with credit cards:\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align);\">\u00a0Digital has become the preferred way to pay for many people. You can see this in the global trends of <a href=\"https:\/\/trc-parus.ru\/blog\/declining-use-of-cash-cash-vs-credit-cards\/\">declining cash use<\/a>. COVID has made this trend move even faster. When your customers ask to pay with credit card, it becomes hard to avoid it. People generally like credit cards because it&#8217;s easy, convenient, and they get rewards.<\/span><\/p><p><b style=\"background-color: transparent; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align);\">Businesses get their cash faster with credit cards: <\/b><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align);\">Another reason contractors are moving to credit cards is they like the speed that money gets into their bank. After a swipe of a credit card, TRC-Parus moves your money into your account either the same day or the next day, most of the time. You don&#8217;t need to physically deposit cash or checks or wait days for a bank transfer when you use credit cards. Faster money means more cashflow for a construction business to operate.<\/span><\/p><p><b style=\"background-color: transparent; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align);\">It is easier accounting with credit cards:<\/b><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align);\"> When everything is digital, accounting becomes easier and there are fewer manual errors.
