Fair and balanced reporting

Your piece ["Visa clarifies data retention danger," The Green Sheet, April 24, 2006, issue 06:04:02] was probably the most comprehensive, fair and balanced article that resulted from our myriad interviews on this topic.

Calling CPC

Do you have any old or new information about CPC (Central Payment Corp.)? It's an ISO for JPMorgan Chase.

Clarence

Clarence,

I am afraid I do not have any information on CPC. A search of our Web site turned up nothing. A Google search turned up CPC's Web site; however, it contained no information about the people involved.

Preaching to the choir

Mr. Nardy,

We haven't met, but I wanted to drop you a line telling you I have really enjoyed the articles you have written in the past two editions of The Green Sheet. [Street Smarts^SM: "The agent bank relationship - Part I," June 12, 2006, issue 06:06:01 and "The agent bank relationship - Part II," June 26, 2006, issue 06:06:02].

It is refreshing to see that I'm not the only one talking about the correct way a [merchant level salesperson] MLS rep should communicate with a referring financial institution.

Hopefully, when some of the reps of our ISOs read these articles and they hear the same message I have been preaching for years, they will realize that they need to work just a little harder in order to reap the rewards associated with supporting banks.

The List does not exist

I would like to have a list of all the ISOs in America (with contact info). Can you help me with that?

Pablo,

I am sorry to say no such list exists. The closest thing I know of is our subscriber list, and that is proprietary.

However, the listing "ISOs Looking for Agents" appears in every issue of The Green Sheet and is on our Web site at http://www.greensheet.com/resource//gs_archive.php?emagazineIssueNumber=060801?ISOs+LOOKING+FOR+AGENTS
