Keeping up with an in-house merchant services program can be a difficult proposition
for community banks and credit unions, often taking focus away from the local businesses
and families they serve. Furthermore, merchant services programs can be a loss –
with banks footing the bill on liability and unable to keep up with the newest rates.
The Financial Institutions Group of Sage Payment Solutions can help. We understand
the complexities facing community banks and credit unions when trying to maintain
a merchant services program for business customers. The development of customized
merchant services programs, supported by unparalleled personalized service, has
positioned Sage Payment Solutions as a leader in providing friendly, prompt ‘first-name
basis’ service, echoing the operating philosophies of community banks and credit
unions.
