What’s New:
Fueling merchant growth

A s a sales person in the payments industry, you are no doubt, always looking for opportunities to enrich your

relationships with merchant clients. After all, an ideal payments relationship means you have the right options
to offer a merchant just when they need them most, in order to keep them growing and thriving.

Most of the time, the concentration is on enhancing a merchant’s payment acceptance process, which of course, promotes
greater loyalty. And, arguably, this is plenty for the majority of merchants that are growing through organic day-to-day
selling. However, there are times when some merchants find themselves needing a little boost. As their trusted financial
services representative, this is when you are in the best position to offer them non-traditional payment products that can
help them move ahead a little more swiftly. Whatever the reason, this is when a merchant is most open to products that
will help them secure additional capital.

“When a merchant realizes they are in need of financial assistance to expand their service offerings, move into a new
market area, or just enhance their current business model, it is a wonderful time to offer them a capital funding option
that is secured by their ongoing processing volume,” said Craig Hecker, CEO of Rapid Capital Funding, a North American
Bancard company. “If a strong, consultative sales relationship is maintained with a customer, when these occasions arise,
you are prepared to help them with a viable funding solution.”
Quick and convenient merchant funding
If you are already an NAB sales partner, you are probably aware of NAB’s products and strengths in the area of merchant
capital advances. In fact, you’ve likely already introduced customers to NAB’s legacy capital advance product, Capital for
Merchants, when they’ve been looking for additional financial support.

What you may not be aware of yet is NAB’s strategic decision to consolidate all capital advance efforts into a new and
improved merchant capital advance program called RapidFuel. RapidFuel is now NAB’s official merchant cash advance
offering, blending all of the benefits of the company’s predecessor programs with several new features to create one of the
most competitive and robust cash advance programs available to merchants today. In short, it is a hassle-free alternative
to traditional funding that merchants can use to get the cash they need to grow their businesses. In fact, they can borrow
up to $500,000, and the approval determination happens in 24 hours or less! Funding is dispersed in as little as 72 hours,
there are no monthly payments or collateral needed for gaining approval, and there are no application fees. In addition,
RapidFuel offers highly competitive rates to qualifying merchants.
More for the money

The best part is what’s in it for you.

“Under the terms of the Rapid Capital Funding (RCF) Sales Partner Agreement, our partners earn excellent revenue share
rates,” continued Hecker. “A dedicated 12-person support team also regularly follows up on every RapidFuel account,
earning our sales partners even greater commissions for all net-new dollars funded.” Another exciting new feature of
RCF is the SMARTe proprietary CRM application. This easy to use and access portal gives NAB Sales Partners ‘anytime’
visibility to application submissions, approvals and activity throughout the entire funding cycle. Just by logging into the
personal SMARTe account, you’ll always know what is happening with your merchant applications and how the accounts
