It’s been a GREAT 2013, and here’s to an even better 2014!

Posted on

Securus Payments has had a fantastic 2013. We have won multiple awards, opened up a new office, added many employees, and welcomed thousands of merchants to our family. We have been hard at work and will continue to be the best merchant service company in the nation! We couldn’t have done it without the help of our hardworking employees and all the great merchants we do business with. To wrap up 2013 here are some accomplishments we are VERY proud to have earned:

February:

Securus Payments opens a new regional satellite office to better service our clients in Carlsbad, CA!

Securus Payments is recognized by Portland Business Journal as one of the fastest growing companies in Oregon. This marks the second time that Securus Payments was bestowed this award.

March:

First Data recognizes Securus Payments as the fastest growing Independent Sales Organizations in the United States. Meaning that we will work hard for your company so that we will become the largest nationwide.

August:

Inc 5000 awards us as one of the fastest growing companies nationwide, putting us at #374. We have year over year grown at a rate of 1184.4%.

November:

We expanded our Carlsbad, CA office because we had outgrown our original expectations. With more and more merchants switching to us, we had to hire on more employees to still deliver the BEST customer service nationwide, and to still offer the lowest prices in the industry.2

December:

Securus Payments becomes the PREFERRED vendor for FREE DEBIT CARD PROCESSING.3

Securus Payments wins Best in Portland award. This award was given to us by the responses that our merchants have given. We knew all of our hard work and dedication has paid off.4

Securus Payments has been rapidly growing and gaining the attention of Portland Business Journal and Inc. 500 for not only fastest growing company in Oregon, but also one of the fastest growing companies nationwide. We pride ourselves on having the best customer service and the best account representatives. For us to continue servicing our merchants to the highest of standards we decided it was time for an expansion. We made multiple trips to many cities nationwide in search of our new office, and ended up choosing Carlsbad, CA because the city was the most welcoming to new businesses.

We started with a small office, very similar to how our Portland, Oregon office was. We quickly realized that the Carlsbad, CA market was bigger than we imagined. Business in our new office quickly grew and within 6 months realized, needed a larger office. Our new and larger office can accommodate more account managers and customer service representatives. The expansion into a larger space will allow us to service your account and your business faster and more efficiently.

Securus Payments is dedicated to delivering the lowest cost merchant and credit card processing nationwide. We have had a huge growth surge within the last couple of years because merchants nationwide are finding that we offer the lowest cost merchant services anywhere. We back this up by a $500 low price guarantee.

With all of our staff and promotions to help your company save money, now is the time to make the switch to us. With our charitable donations program*, iPad giveaway, our $500 dollar guarantee and FREE DEBIT CARD PROCESSING** there are no other companies nationwide that can match what we do!

Free Debit Card Processing!

Posted on Updated on

Securus Payments is always striving to save your company money, and our newest program allows you to save the most. Our new Securus Payments POS credit card terminal coupled with our processing allows us to discount all of your debit card processing fees to $0. This mean FREE DEBIT CARD PROCESSING. This is done by incentivizing your customers to pay by credit card, cash or checks.

At the time of transaction, your business would explain to the customer that there is a $0.49 service fee associated with all sales (similar to automatic gratuity at restaurants), but if the customer decides to pay with a credit card, cash or a check then that service fee is discounted off. Whether the customer uses a pin for the debit card or swipes their debit card, it makes no difference and will still be charged the service fee.

The service fee is then passed onto the customer and therefore the merchant is not responsible for the debit card fees. Securus Payments is the PREFERRED  provider of this terminal and the processing making us the best company nationwide that can offer this to anyone. Our terminal is also EMV Compliant*!

To take advantage of our services and terminal or have any other questions please call us at 1-866-649-1324 or email sales@securuspayments.com

A New Credit Card Standard, Is Your Business Ready?

Posted on

Coming in 2015 Visa and MasterCard are switching to a chip based credit card (EMV) instead of magnetic strips. This will dramatically lower the amount of stolen credit cards and fraud. The major advantage to using a chip based credit card is that it is nearly impossible to counterfeit. Each transaction has a unique “value” assigned to it. Even if the credit card is counterfeited, because of this unique “value” the card creates the transaction will be automatically rejected.

This standard has been adopted in over 130 countries with the United States following quickly. Over 1.34 billion EMV compliant credit and debit cards have already been issued by Visa and MasterCard. When the EMV standard is enforced by the major credit cards, liability of the sale moves from the card issuer to the merchant if the merchant used the magnetic strip as the swipe method. This will increase the risk of liability to the merchant who have chosen not to make the switch to new EMV compliant terminals.

Securus Payments offers multiple terminals that will allow your company to be in compliance when chip based card transaction will be enforced. Being just a year away get your business up to standard now, so that the transition will be seamless with no downtime. By being compliant your company will cut costs significantly in terms of fraud.

To inquire or take advantage of our new chip based card terminals please call us at 1-866-649-1324 or email us: sales@securuspayments.com

Why Choose Securus Payments

Posted on

Securus Payments offers the lowest cost merchant processing service nationwide. But we also have many other facets to merchant processing too. That is why over 7000 merchants and counting have chosen us as their processor. We offer stability, security, simplicity, service, and savings.

We are a direct processor for First Data, which is the world’s largest payment processing company. Because we have a direct relationship with them we can offer the fastest processing time, minimal time outs, and least amount of downtime. This decreases your downtime and increases your profits.

All of the machines we offer have the upmost security. The machines we send out are all PCI (Payment Compliance Industry) compliant. We send out security updates as soon as they are available to all of our machines to ensure loss of data does not happen between the machine and us.

Our customer service is what really keeps over 7000 merchants with us. Our account executives knows our services inside and out so if you have questions we can answer them in a timely fashion. We also have a local team of customer service agents based in our Portland, OR office. They can answer all of your billing or account issues. We also offer after hours support through First Data.

The simplicity of our billing statements is second to none. Instead of having more than 1,000 different rates for cards (interchange) we only offer 5 rates. This type of billing is easy to understand so when you run a card, you’ll know exactly how much it will cost your business. Our machines will automatically detect if the card is debit and charge accordingly. This decreases any confusion you may have when you run a card.

And the main reason most companies switch to us is the savings we can provide. Once you sign up, you are guaranteed the lowest rates available. We back that statement up with a $500 guarantee in writing that no one can beat our rates. This is because we know there are no other companies out there that can beat our rates.

With our charitable donations program in place, we are the nation’s leader in credit processing and look forward to doing business with you! For more information or to take advantage of our services please call us at 1-866-649-1324 or email: sales@securuspayments.com

Charitable Donations Program

Posted on Updated on

Since 2009 Securus Payments has been involved with charitable giving. Our founders had been involved with the Army Wounded Warrior and given back generously their time, effort, elbow grease and money. With our company continuing to expand and reach unprecedented levels, we decided it was time to start our charitable donations program.

Our new program allows the merchant (if they chose to) to donate $100 to American Red Cross, National Breast Cancer Foundation, Make A Wish Foundation, Coalition for the Homeless, or any other charity of their choice when they sign up for credit processing and merchant services through Securus Payments. The form is simple and uncomplicated to make sure the whole donation goes to where it is intended. The merchants can also designate a charity of their choice.

Securus wants to give back to the community as much as the community has given to us. We would like to thank all of the merchants that will participate in this program. Their donations will make a world of difference to the recipients.

For more information, inquiries or to take advantage of our donations programs today please email us at sales@securuspayments.com. We look forward to hearing from you today!
