BankCard USA Launches 5 Point Service Guarantee Program


Company Continues to Lead Industry in Merchant Services Best Practices

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--‘Keeping it all under one roof’ is the mantra of BankCard USA, a merchant services company, servicing merchant needs from start up to expansion. In an era where passing the buck and outsourcing business is all too common, BankCard USA does business differently. Operating in an industry that has become predatory and has left a bad taste in more than one business owner’s mouth, BankCard USA is pushing back to lead the way in best practices.

Most recently, the company announced its newly operational merchant account review hotline where companies can call and have their existing merchant services contract evaluated and receive advice on how to get out of unfair contracts. BankCard USA has now launched another step in restoring VIP customer service to the merchant services industry with their 5 Point Service Guarantee Program.

Currently, most merchant service providers are resellers that make a sale and then pass the customer to a processor. These resellers do not have the ability to handle customer account information and directly service them. BankCard USA is different. By managing the account, all under one roof, the merchant receives the benefit. The newly launched 5 Point Service Guarantee Program states:

  1. New customers are never sent refurbished equipment or outdated POS software—BankCard USA ensures that all hardware and software is the newest and most updated available, reducing potential malfunctions and resulting in faster transactions for the merchant.
  2. Your Business Deadline comes first - Whether merchants need new POS equipment for a grand opening, convention, or a merchant needs to make a quick switchover, BankCard USA will take care of you. Equipment can be delivered within 24-hrs.
  3. No Contracts! BankCard USA doesn’t lock customers into contracts. They take a different approach, relying on good service to maintain customer loyalty.
  4. Customer requests must and will be handled on the first call. BankCard USA knows that merchants are far too busy to worry about following up with their merchant servicer. Time is valuable and we don’t waste it.
  5. Same-Day Problem Resolution- BankCard USA’s goal is to make sure all problems no matter how big are solved within 24 hours.

BankCard USA founder Shawn Skelton comments, “Customer service is so important to us because by definition we are a service business. Part of what a customer pays for is the value of being serviced professionally and timely. We treat every merchant like a VIP and we take pride in the fact that from A to Z we can handle everything that a merchant will need in house and within 24 hours.”

In response to the 5 Point Service Guarantee, customers are already raving about the service they are receiving from BankCard USA including:

“I just wanted to thank you for going the extra mile to get our account set up and approved. From start to finish, you had us approved in less than 24 hours. Other companies I have dealt with have taken much longer. Being a business owner, I can also appreciate the fact that you were easy to get in touch with and responded to emails very quickly. Once again, thank you for your great service.” Scott Brown, Quality Floors Direct.

“I would like to inform you of my satisfaction with the company’s customer service. The quality of service was to meet my needs and this put you, BankCard USA, above your competitors. ..Great customer service will always make the customer come back time and time again.” Bonnie Martin, Bon Mar Productions.

“Just a note to thank you and the extremely helpful staff at BankCard USA. The entire transaction went seamlessly, and now we are up and running and ready to accept payments of all types. I will definitely be recommending your service to all my business associates.” Cosmo Miller, Cold Fresh Inc.

VerifySmart(TM) Corp. solves the consumer and merchant credit/debit card fraud that has reached world wide epic proportions

TAGUIG, METRO MANILA, Philippines, Aug. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - VerifySmart(TM) Corp. (VSMR: OTCBB): VerifySmart(TM) (VSC), a global leader in secure and fraud free payment processing services, is pleased to announce the launch of its integrated and highly scalable e-commerce system along with its enhanced website.

AN EPIC PROBLEM

Globally, the number of payment transactions and money transfers conducted online, electronically, or through Credit/Debit cards has increased dramatically in a very few short years. In 2008, in excess of $10 Trillion was exchanged in various electronic forms across the world.

The credit/debit card technology that has been introduced in the last decade was developed to allow consumers the ease of purchases and transfers online. With the increase of electronic transactions, the instances of fraud have increased exponentially. Until now, there has been little effort made towards security, resulting in an ever increasing problem of ID theft and Credit/Debit card fraud that has reached in excess of $56 Billion annually.

THE SOLUTION

As an industry leader, VerifySmart(TM) Corp. has spent four years and millions of dollars to develop and is now marketing a solution to combat the problem that technology created. Our patent pending (PCT Approved) technology has been filed in 29 Countries based on strategic importance and wireless penetration rate.

The software operates through the use of a cellular phone for secured verification of monetary transactions. VerifySmart(TM) Corp. technology notifies the cardholder of the purchase through the cellular phone and empowers the cardholder to approve or decline his/her purchase. The result is a guaranteed transaction and acceptance providing safety and security for the cardholder and merchant, a first in the industry and providing a level of security unprecedented in other Credit/Debit cards.

Our industry changing transaction services model is non-invasive (requires no system changes) with instant identity verification that is inexpensive to implement and simple to use. The software has been developed to include debit card purchases, internet purchases, ATMs, passport, money transfers, remittances and mortgage verification.

An industry and global first, Verify Transfer is a suite of services that offers the following Transaction and Authentication based features:

     -  Seamlessly integrated with VSC's VeriSmart Card and VerifyNGo two
factor authentication
- Provides virtual bank functionality and allows merchants full fund
management control
- Merchants can issue and assign VeriSmart Cards to end users and load
cards anytime, anywhere electronically (completely secured). Typical
use includes payroll services and transactional fund disbursement in
real time.
- Ability to garner interest in new markets via the foreign exchange
module which enables merchants and end users a full view of their
account balance and transaction history in two currencies
- Access to a full reporting and record management system allowing
complete visibility of individual customer transaction history and
macro roll up reports
- Unrivalled merchant and end user peace of mind enabled by utilizing
the patent-pending VerifyNGo two factor authentication to complete
funds transferred

ABOUT VERIFYSMART(TM) CORP.

VerifySmart Corp. has designed and developed a Proprietary Hardware/Software Solution that solves Credit/Debit Card fraud by using a proprietary two Factor Authentication.

The Company's Core Technology is designed to meet the needs of the Security challenged Transaction Processing Industry. Present day solutions, such as Verified by Visa, Chip and Pin and CVV Code (all of which can be compromised) have not reduced payment card fraud by any significant factor.

The VerifySmart solution has reduced fraud to zero in earlier production pilots. The Company's proven and highly scalable solution is gaining worldwide attention and placing VerifySmart at the forefront of the fraud prevention revolution.
