OXNARD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--linked2pay, the award-winning risk management and payments technology provider, has teamed with PUSH Payments to develop and deploy Instant Merchant Settlements. The pair will soon provide this service under an agreement with a top five acquirer in the United States.
"This changes the cash flow options for millions of business owners. An instant merchant settlement solution that is available around the clock and even on holidays that settles in real funds reshapes the card acceptance value proposition," according to Robert "Jay" McShirley, CEO of linked2pay.
Many acquirers and card service providers now offer merchants next- or same-day settlements as a premium funding option. While those offers are an improvement compared to the long waits of the past they still do not address the needs for the many businesses that do not operate during 9-to-5 business hours. The instant settlement approach enables the multitude of businesses that are open after normal business hours to instantly settle any time and as often as they want or need.
Utilizing linked2pay’s patent pending merchant enrollment and boarding process that instantly authenticates ownership of a debit card (connected to the merchant bank account), the secure delivery of service can be initiated. Once a business is enrolled, the acquirer manages and controls the merchant approval and funding process. Once approved, PUSH Payments facilities the transaction allowing the merchant to receive the funds instantly and manages the settlement process for the acquirer.
"Instant merchant settlements are an ideal application of real-time payments, providing game-changing value and liquidity for businesses. This deployment will forever change the expectations in terms of card settlement speed, and begin the inflection point where the true value of real-time payments begin to be realized," says Travis Dulaney, CEO of PUSH Payments.
The service is provided under white label; for more information visit https://linked2pay.com/partners.
