Agreement with Community Bankers Association of
Kansas Puts Regional Banks on Equal Footing with
National Competitors
Redwood City, CA—Merchant e-Solutions, Inc.
(MeS), a leader in payment processing services,
today announced a partnership with the Community
Bankers Association of Kansas (CBA) to offer merchant
services to 125 Kansas banks and their customers.
MeS will provide CBA members with technically
advanced payment services such as Web-based portfolio
management, sophisticated reporting and analysis
tools, and online merchant sign-up capabilities.
CBA is a statewide organization working solely for
the interests of locally owned and operated community
banks and their customers.
“With the services MeS is providing,
it’s never been easier for community banks
to manage and Grow their merchant portfolios,”
said Shari Weber, CBA president and CEO. “These
services ensure our members can continue to focus
on local credit and local development while being
on an equal footing with national competitors when
it comes to processing services.”
MeS is an e-commerce company providing
traditional and internet-based payment services
to community banks and merchants. Traditional services
include payment processing solutions via dial terminals,
personal computers, and telephones. Internet-based
services include payment processing solutions tailored
specifically for online stores, plus an extensive
array of reports and monthly statements available
to banks and merchants through the internet.
“Regional banks have been paying
more for less service from national processors who
are focused on national banks that generate large
volumes of transactions,” said Sharif Bayyari,
MeS Chief Executive Officer. “MeS and CBA
are working to ensure Kansas community banks can
compete on price and services without having to
make massive investments in technology.”
MeS provides community banks access
to advanced reporting, such as risk management,
portfolio evaluation, and real time profitability
analysis, as well as equipment inventory management,
deployment and activation. Merchants can take advantage
of online monthly statements, transaction reports,
and information on activity and profitability.
“This is a great opportunity for
banks to offer merchant services and remote deposit
capture for their customers,” said Bayyari.
“CBA Kansas has made a commitment to its members
to support their efforts in providing quality, competitive
products for their local merchant customers.”
Community banks and merchants are the
sole focus of MeS, which offers payment processing
and reporting services designed specifically for
these clients.
