Chasing the Chase platform
I was wondering if any of the editors at The Green Sheet know which processors use the Chase bank platform. I am a rep and have most of my merchants with a processor that uses the HSBC Global platform. But one merchant now receives his payments two days later and wants to use a processor that will fund Chase transactions overnight. He could go back to his old processor but is willing to stay with me if I can sign the account with a processor that will provide this feature. I am therefore looking for processors that are capable of this. Can you help?

Belinda,
While we do not keep a list of processors and the platforms they use, we do have processors listed in our Resource Guide (www.greensheet.com/resource_guide.php) under the heading "Processors Looking for ISOs." You could call them directly and find out if they use the Chase platform.Also, if you register on our website (www.greensheet.com) and then go to the Forums page and register for the MLS Forum, you can post your question there and get suggestions from other reps who have encountered similar situations on the job. I hope this information is of use to you in retaining your merchant customer.

What's coming up next?
I would be grateful if you could tell me when the next ISO and merchant level salesperson seminar or tradeshow is slated. Anywhere in the United States will do.
Many thanks in advance,

From GS Online's MLS Forum The premier online network for payment pros Is Skype a good business tool? Recently, GS Online MLS Forum member VMS2000 asked whether anyone in the forum had used Skype in a telemarketing environment. Opinions on this were mixed. For example, DJARIS45 posted, "I got a call from somebody using Skype the other day, and the quality was miserable. He said it works great overseas, but a local U.S. call was poor quality. If somebody called me using that quality, I would hang up." MAJOROSDAVID presented a different point of view. "Skype is phenomenal," he wrote. "It is highly dependent on your Internet speed and the speed at which your computer operates. For hard-core telemarketing, I would not recommend Skype. It's perfect for occasional use, not constant use." You, too, can post questions about the payments business, including those about resources you might want in your sales toolbox. Visit www.greensheet.com/forums, and join the conversation. |
