Newtek Technology Services, the technology services division of Newtek Business Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEWT), recently announced its capabilities to take international payments through a partnership with Payvision, one of the leading international payment solutions providers for the card-not-present marketplace, to expand Newtek’s Ecommerce offering to both US and foreign-based web hosting customers.
"Our partnership with Payvision was an important step in creating a truly comprehensive Ecommerce solution, making it easier and much more convenient for our customers to launch a successful online storefront," said Barry Sloan, Chairman and CEO of Newtek Business Services. "As a technology services provider with customers located in over 140 countries, this will complete a needed part of the Ecommerce solution we offer."
The addition of Payvision not only strengthens the partnership between Newtek and the Payvision team, but also continues Newtek’s support of the business community in general and gives Newtek customers an efficient way to go international with their credit card processing. Newtek's partnership with Payvision further builds on the company's one-stop Ecommerce solution, which already includes competitive US-based payment processing. Now, with a single provider, Newtek customers can receive all the necessary components to deploy an online business with global reach.
“We are delighted to join forces with Newtek and offer their customers the ability to establish a footprint in the international ecommerce arena,” said Rudolf Booker, CEO of Payvision. “Our combined efforts will give merchants the opportunity to increase revenue while affording resellers an unprecedented opportunity to expand their portfolios.”
Newtek Technology Services offers a simple, convenient method to implement and use Payvision. Using the expertise of the representatives, customers can easily get started selling in local currencies in foreign markets or enabling foreign-based merchants to settle in US dollars.
