Payment Processor Climbs The Nilson Report’s List of Top Merchant Acquirers for 6 Straight Years
Today Clearent announced that it advanced six spots on The Nilson Report’s List of national merchant acquirers based on 2016 card processing volume. The company’s volume grew by 19% over 2015 by providing industry-leading products and superior customer service.
In 2016, Clearent launched its new suite of omni-channel payment solutions that includes a custom-built Virtual Terminal and Hosted Payment Pages and buttons, which help business owners accept payments anywhere. Clearent also launched recurring payments for its Virtual Terminal, which helps merchants securely set up automated payments. To help merchants comply with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), the company launched the DataGuardian program, which protects businesses and their customers from the devastating effects of a data breach.
In 2017, Clearent expects to see growth from its March acquisition of Payment Alliance International’s merchant services division. The company is also forecasting growth in its newest sales channel targeting Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), which it laid the groundwork for in 2016.
“As we climb higher on the list every year, it demonstrates that our commitment to transparency and responsive customer service is the right approach,” said Dan Geraty, CEO of Clearent. “I would like to personally thank our partners and merchants for choosing Clearent.”
