The partnership creates an “easy button” for accepting ACH, Checks, and Credit Card payments through a single platform for customer convenience.
In response to the growing demand for seamless acceptance of multiple payment options online, Wind River Financial announced today that it has teamed up with iStream Financial Services. This alliance brings together over 35 years of combined expertise from two of Wisconsin’s premier payment services companies: Wind River’s credit and debit card processing experience and iStream’s Automated Clearing House (ACH) proficiency.
Using a single gateway integration, independent software providers and B2B businesses will find it much simpler to accept and process multiple payment methods through virtual terminals, hosted payment pages, and ecommerce websites. Merchants also benefit through enhanced online payment acceptance as consumers continue to flock to ecommerce shopping.
“Our partnership with iStream allows us to broaden our payment acceptance solutions,” stated Steve Staden, senior vice president of product management at Wind River. “Expanding payment options is especially important during an era when every penny counts for a business.”
“We’re so pleased to roll up the sleeves with Wind River to bring this integrated payments capability to the marketplace, said Fred Joachim, president of iStream Financial Services. “The alignment of our mutual company values, work ethic, and focus on service is reflected in this versatile payment solution,” he continued.
This new capability is available immediately for NMI gateway customers. Wind River and iStream plan to extend the integrated payments capability with other gateways in the near future.
“The pandemic may fade but ecommerce will remain and continue to grow. It’s important for businesses to keep pace and enable all payment options through this channel,” Staden added.
