MTXEPS, Inc., a feature rich premier payment engine software, and SHAZAM, Inc., one of the last remaining member-owned and-controlled EFT networks and processors in the country, announced today that they have entered into a partnership that will expand SHAZAM's current merchant payment processing program.
Now merchants of any size can take advantage of the cost-effective and reliable payment processing solutions offered by SHAZAM, including debit cards, credit cards, EBT cards, and ECCs, while being more tightly integrated with their current processing applications. Additionally, the partnership allows a more cost-effective means for merchants to process debit transactions using the credit to debit conversion option, where all check card purchases are prompted for a PIN.
"By taking advantage of our expanded services through MTXEPS, we can offer our payment processing solutions to all merchants, regardless of size," said Dan Kramer, SHAZAM Senior Vice President of Marketing and Merchant Services.
"SHAZAM has a long history in the electronic payments industry and is a proven solution provider," said Jon Elwood, President MTXEPS, Inc. "We are delighted to launch this new venture with them and pleased that our customers will now benefit from this joint solution."
