Nationwide Payment Solutions and GETI partner on no-fee service

February 2, 2012

Nationwide Payment Solutions, a registered merchant services provider, and Global eTelecom Inc., an electronic check processor and gift/loyalty card provider, have partnered to enhance the NPS product, MuniciPAY, according to a press release.

The enhancement allows government entities using MuniciPAY to accept credit and debit card payments by phone, e-commerce, and over the counter at no cost to the municipality. Instead, a convenience fee is charged to the consumer. This solution frees municipal offices and utilities to accept multiple payment channels, while eliminating processing costs for the organization.

"By eliminating the processing costs for the municipal office through the use of GETI's convenience fee option, MuniciPAY is an attractive payment solution," said Chris Smith, business development manager at GETI. "The ability for municipalities to accept electronic checks and ACH payments in addition to credit and debit cards will enhance the value of the MuniciPAY gateway and ensure they remain processing with NPS for years to come."

"MuniciPAY is an ideal solution for municipal offices that are looking to reduce late payments, increase cash flow, improve operational efficiency and streamline multi-department payment reconciliation," said Jamie Nonni, CEO of Nationwide Payment Solutions. "We are excited about our partnership with GETI and what the future holds for both companies in the government acceptance channel."
