Through this alliance, Valutec will provide gift and loyalty card programs to TransFirst's merchants, including the setup and terms of the merchant's program, design of cards and 24/7 merchant support. A merchant's TransFirst business development representative will facilitate the initial contact between the merchant and Valutec, at which time Valutec will become the service provider to the merchant. TransFirst and Valutec will share the revenues that the card programs produce.
"It was very important to us to choose a collaborator for the gift and loyalty card program that has the same level of commitment to merchant support as TransFirst does," says Steve Cadden, TransFirst's president and COO. "We are confident that Valutec will provide the 24/7 service we promise to our merchants, and that their programs will help merchants take advantage of the emerging prepaid card market to add growth potential to their businesses, no matter what their size."
"At Valutec, an FIS(TM) company, we believe in the value of partnering with prominent companies in the payment processing industry," says Dan Brames, group executive for merchant/gift cards at FIS Retail Payment Solutions, Valutec's parent company. "Together, we can provide merchants with gift and loyalty card programs that can add significant value to their businesses. We look forward to a mutually successful relationship with TransFirst."
