ECX
Partners with East and West Coast Banks
In
issue 01:03:02, we reported that E-Commerce Exchange (ECX) is taking steps to
bring its core business services in-house. As part of this effort to reduce the
overall number of third party providers it uses, ECX has partnered with two
banks, First Bank of Beverly Hills and Minotola
National Bank.
ECX will
work with First Bank of Beverly Hills and Minotola National Bank, both
Visa/MasterCard member banks, to provide funds from transactions to ECX
customers. While the banks will handle the transfer of money, ECX will be
responsible for the other services to the customer; this includes establishing a
merchant account for the customer, transferring and monitoring all funds and all
customer support and services.
ECX has
also formed an alliance with Internet Marketing Institute (IMI), an online
marketing firm that specializes in search engine optimization, Internet
advertising, and electronic messaging. ECX and IMI will offer their flagship
products, QuickCommerce and Search Engine Optimization Kit-2001, respectively,
to each other’s customers.
ECX will
offer IMI’s Search Engine Optimization Kit-2001 to its QuickCommerce
customers. The kit allows ECX’s Internet merchants to maximize the online
exposure for their Web stores, and IMI’s customers can use QuickCommerce to
securely process credit cards and electronic checks online.
“In
partnering with companies like the Internet Marketing Institute, E-Commerce
Exchange is able to provide additional services to our clients, enabling us to
further aid small businesses as they attain their goals,” said Thad Bees, vice
president of sales and business development, E-Commerce Exchange.
“Our
joint vision is to provide the infrastructure, tools and resources to make
businesses successful online,” said Dr. Jerry R. Perrich, president of
Internet Marketing Institute. “This includes construction of e-commerce sites,
enabling of e-commerce transactions, and effective marketing of the online
business presence. The combined core competencies of ECX and IMI allow
businesses to leverage the results of their investment in their online
presence.”
