Prime Payment Solution: Simple and Cost-Effective Merchant Payment Processing
George Krinos, President In today’s world of cashless transactions and paperless currencies, merchants are quickly integrating various payment processing systems to accept electronic payments and grow their business. Typically, they approach a payment processing agent to get started. However, the challenge is that most agents only offer the services of a single payment processor and a few loyalty programs at a particular cost. Alongside, the merchant may have to pay hidden fees and mark-up charges as high as 2.9 percent on each transaction to the payment processor, COVER STORY taking away a significant portion of their profits.Changing the dynamics of payment processing, Prime Payment Solution brings forth the services of multiple payment processors along with multiple loyalty programs. The company offers a wide variety of payment processors for merchants to choose from without any mark-ups or hidden fees. “Prime Payment Solution fosters fair, transparent, and simple payment processing, assisting merchants in availing the benefits of lower fees and increasing their revenue,” says Krinos, Vice President, Prime Payment Solution.
As a maven in the payment processing industry, George Krinos faced similar challenges firsthand a decade ago. During his stint as an agent, Krinos struggled to attract new merchants mainly due to the inability to offer affordable prices. From 2016, he spent four years devising a solution to the existing pricing problem and established Prime Payment Solution, a payment processing company that not only caters to merchant requirements but also supports agents.
The key differentiator of Prime Payment Solution is its exclusive focus on empowering agents to better assist merchants. The company’s agents undergo a week-long training by well known and respected national payment processing trainers to enhance their capabilities in terms of servicing merchants. The training includes all the minute details as to the payment processing needs, how to handle calls, price a client, prepare for a presentation, and more. Prime Payment Solution trains its staff according to industry needs to provide high-quality services to clients.
Unlike other competitors whose agents are driven by the motive of closing leads quickly, the company’s agents are well trained to perform extensive discovery to assess a merchant’s payment processing needs and apt services.
A Range of Payment Processors
Prime Payment Solution’s agents understand merchant requirements and expectations from processing providers, which helps boost a merchant’s business. Agents then present the most suitable solution that not only aligns with the merchant’s goals, but also offers the best rates and fees on payment programs after analyzing each merchant’s specific situation and needs. In fact, the agents can also show illustrative data on how much the merchant will approximately save by opting for a particular payment processor.
With Prime Payment Solution, merchants can get a flexible and simple way of processing payments, create customized loyalty programs to increase customer engagement, quickly settle accounts, and easily process debit and credit card transactions with minimum charges. The company offers three main programs: interchange plus, flat rate fee, and cash discount. Interchange plus enables merchants to determine the cost per transaction and the actual profit without getting into the details. The company keeps track of any changes in interchange fees that may impact the merchant’s business and keeps them informed to ensure they get the best deal. With a flat-rate fee, Prime Payment Solution allows merchants to pay only a single fixed fee for all aspects of processing without any hidden charges. Similarly, the cash discount program enables merchants to create attractive discounts for their customers when paying in cash for their purchases, in turn offsetting payment processing costs.
With strong agent support, the company has successfully saved thousands of dollars in transactions fees for its merchants by providing affordable, scalable, simple, and secure payment solutions. Since Prime Payment Solution offers six processors, it can provide multiple variations of programs with different fees and rates to curate the ideal program for merchants to save money. “Our goal is to help as many business owners as possible with payment processing to increase their bottom line,” says Krinos. The company has served a wide variety of merchants across verticals such as retail, non-profit, restaurant, hospitality, and more to take advantage of payment processors at a cost as low as 0.05 percent per transaction. Recently, one of the merchants was able to save $250 a month when processing $20,000.
