TORONTO and MONTREAL, June 12, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Beginning in June, thousands of merchants across North America will be able to process loans directly at the point of sale, giving customers greater flexibility and control over their preferred method of payment. This new comprehensive payment and financing solution has been made possible through a partnership with Pivotal Payments, a longstanding leader in credit card payment processing solutions, and FinanceIt, a Canadian point of sale financing platform from CommunityLend Inc.
From automotive dealerships to furniture retailers, this new offering covers a wide spectrum of consumer transaction needs. "Our team strives to stay ahead of the curve, so our merchants have the latest tools and services to meet their clients' evolving demands," said Philip Fayer, president and chief executive officer of Pivotal Payments. "This new system will provide consumers with greater flexibility and ease at the check-out counter, while helping businesses close sales faster."
To date, FinanceIt has received over $320 million in loan applications from more than 2,240 merchant partners. The point of sale finance solution will integrate seamlessly with Pivotal Payments' merchant services, offering business owners a way to boost their sales and increase their cash flow.
"Consumer financing has long been an industry controlled by major financial institutions, but the industry is shifting and our partnership with Pivotal Payments is a step forward in the right direction," says FinanceIt COO, Casper Wong.
