Why owning the payment keeps the customer

When customers pay with a program you run, the relationship stays with you instead of a card network or a bank.

Savings you can give back

Every card sale sends a share to the networks and the issuing bank. Keep it, and you can fund rewards only you offer. One major retailer has funded 5% off for two decades this way.

Value that brings them back

A gift card or private label balance can only be spent with you. Every layaway and buy-now-pay-later payment is another visit.

You know who's buying

A card payment tells you little; the bank knows the customer. With your program, every purchase ties to an enrolled customer you can reach and reward.

Your rewards, not the bank's

Rewards cards build loyalty to the bank's points and cash back. Your payment puts your offer at the moment of purchase.

The habit

Once a customer is enrolled and paying with a phone number and PIN, paying with you becomes the easy default.

Six programs, one platform

Each product stands on its own. Customers enroll once, and every product works from that enrollment.

Pay by Bank

One-time bank debit at the point of purchase

Your customer pays from their bank account with a phone number and PIN, at the register or online. The payment is authorized in seconds and settles to your bank.

  • No card network and no interchange
  • Works in your own app, at the counter, or online
  • Card-present option for merchants who want it

Stored Value

Gift cards and private label debit

Customers load value with any form of payment and spend it with you. They can buy a balance for someone else and send it as a gift.

  • Issued by you, spent only with you
  • Serves customers with or without a bank account
  • Built to closed-loop prepaid rules

Layaway

Pay it down, then take it home

Customers lock in a purchase price and pay it down over time. You hold the merchandise until it's paid in full.

  • Each payment is credited toward the balance owed
  • No credit risk: goods ship only when paid
  • Payment schedule run for you

Buy Now, Pay Later

Take it home, pay over time

Customers take the goods today and pay in three or four scheduled payments. You finance your own sales instead of paying a lender.

  • We run approval, processing, reporting, and collections
  • No third-party lender unless you want one
  • Pair with Guaranteed Funds to cover every payment

Guaranteed Funds

Know a sale is good the day you make it

Hand us the risk on a payment that can come back, for a fee, and know what a sale is worth the day you make it.

  • Available on bank debits and buy now, pay later payments
  • Backed by a licensed collection agency
  • Returned-payment recovery is our long-standing business

Check Capture

Checks, without the mail

Accept checks by phone. Customers pay an invoice from a text or email link, your field staff capture checks on site, and mailed-invoice payers scan a code instead of mailing a check.

  • Pay-by-link for invoices
  • Field capture with authorization on the spot
  • Electronic lockbox with a code printed on your invoice

What runs underneath every product

One platform handles the full life of a bank payment, from the first enrollment to the return that arrives a week later.

Enrollment

Customers link a bank account once and pay with a phone number and PIN after that.

  • Account validated before the first debit
  • Authorization records kept for every customer

Authorization

Every payment gets a decision before it's accepted.

  • Real-time check and account authorization
  • Known-bad account screening
  • Approvals and declines your staff can act on

Bank payments

Debits and credits through the ACH network.

  • Consumer, online, and business payments
  • Checks converted to electronic payments
  • Same-day settlement where available
  • Refunds and payouts by ACH credit

Returns and corrections

What comes back is handled, not just reported.

  • Returns matched to the original payment
  • Bank account corrections applied automatically
  • Returned payments sent to recovery if you choose

Settlement and reporting

Money lands in your account with the detail to reconcile it.

  • Settlement to your own bank account
  • Store-level reporting
  • Daily reconciliation files

Merchant onboarding

Apply online and start accepting payments without paperwork.

  • One online application
  • Application status visible as it's reviewed
  • One setup for every product

Account Lookup

Check a bank account before you debit it. Confirm it's open and able to take an ACH payment, and see whether it can receive instant payments. Online originators need account validation before a customer's first debit, and Account Lookup covers it.

Sold by subscription

  • Monthly plans with a set number of lookups
  • Works on its own or inside customer enrollment
  • Results returned in real time

Your bank or ours. We run the program.

It's your choice. Use our pricing, or negotiate with your own bank and simply authorize our system to process files on your behalf.

Either way, we run the program: enrollment, authorization records, monitoring, returns, and customer service on the account.

No banking relationship of your own? Apply online, and we set up processing with funds settling to your business account.

Either way, the money moves from your customer's bank to yours.

Bank payments are what we know

Our leadership has worked in bank-account payments since 1978: check authorization, NACHA pilot programs for check conversion, the SafeCheck program, and a patent for authorizing checks at the point of sale and settling them through the debit network.

The same team operates a national collection program and a returned-check recovery platform. That's what allows us to guarantee results.

We simplify integration and conversion while improving reporting and oversight.

One platform, every program, and a team that has run bank payments for decades. Let's talk.
