| The Retail Grocers Association of
Greater Kansas City is proud to bring another valuable service to our retailers.
By utilizing the RGA wide area network, area grocers can utilize several
programs to help increase profitability. Possibilities include:
Gift Card Program:
- Ad Groups can create their own gift card to drive sales. The Midax
software operated by RGA will allow the retailers to reconcile sales
and redemptions with various ownership groups.
- RGA will send out quarterly statements to all members on the RGA gift
card program. These statements will list each owners accounts receivable
and accounts payable from the other users. RGA will allow for a ten
day grace period by which the retailers can corroborate our figures.
At the end of this period RGA will initiate settlement amongst the users.
Check Verification and Check Collection:

areas to share positive and negative check files to fight the growing
problem of check fraud.
