Clearent, a leading integrated payments solution provider, announced today the official launch of Clearent EDU, a free online platform that hosts a wide variety of educational resources created to help small businesses, Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) navigate the evolving world of payments.

Clearent EDU’s library includes free access to industry-focused articles, videos, podcasts and online courses designed with business owners and other SaaS professionals’ unique needs in mind.

“Clearent EDU was built on the idea that growth is powered by sharing knowledge and fostering community,“ said Pam Joseph, Clearent’s CEO. “Our goal is to help small business owners, ISOs and ISVs demystify payment technologies so they can adopt short and long-term strategies that drive revenue.“

All visitors can expect to find free resources that will help them learn about new ways to accept both card-present and card-not-present payments. Additionally, information on important industry topics like PCI compliance, card brand policies, federal and state regulations and profit-saving strategies will be available.

“Now more than ever, it’s crucial that businesses adopt strategies to protect customers and their staff. The right payment acceptance strategy can help businesses achieve both,“ said Phil Ricci, Clearent’s Vice President of Marketing & Sales Enablement. “We hope that Clearent EDU becomes the source of knowledge for all things payments and technology so businesses can have a clear view of all of the options available to help them succeed.“
