SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Credit card processing industry leader, Integrity Payment
Systems, Des Plaines, IL, has entered into a joint venture marketing agreement with Quicksilver
Payment Solutions, LLC, Springfield, MA, to provide millions of small businesses nationwide with a
new "floating" micro payments solution designed to help buyers and sellers to pay bills safely and
conveniently from daily credit card transactions.
The IPS/QPS payment solution – called PAYFASTSM - allows businesses and merchants to
dedicate a small percentage of their daily credit card receipts to pay monthly bills such as rent,
vendors such as purveyors, distributors, cable and Yellow Page advertising, insurance premiums,
franchise fees, and more.
Underwriters estimate the correct percentage to meet merchant obligations,
PAYFASTSM software stops the payments once the merchant's obligations have
been satisfied.
"We developed the 'micro payment' platform in the United Kingdom when several of our
customers asked if we could pay their landlords," says Frank Capozza, CEO of QPS. "It
quickly spread to other classes of trade like restaurants paying purveyors and other
suppliers," he continued.
"The beauty of the system is that it provides daily, weekly or monthly reconciliation
to businesses and their suppliers' accounts via email or fax. Data can be accessible
via the company's website," Capozza added.
"IPS and QPS joined together using the IPS back-end technology which allows IPS to split
the merchant's credit card batches multiple times to make multiple micro payments. For IPS, it was an
additional value-added service we can provide our customers," said Mike Ponder, President and CEO of
Integrity Payment Systems.
"We are always looking for ways to provide new and better services for nationwide customers," he
continued. Ponder stated that, "for Integrity, it's about helping our customers to operate their
business more efficiently and this is clearly a product that will achieve that goal." New IPS/QPS
customers can also take advantage of Overnight Money Express™ which helps to eliminate the traditional
two to three day float on credit and debit card activity and gives them next-day access to their funds
which is just one of IPS' progressive products providing business owners real solutions.
