Enjoy the latest ePN article featured in this months edition of Merchant Service Times! A Merchant Cannot Live by mPOS Alone - How to Succeed in the Payments Arena The mobile game has becoming increasingly interesting over the last few weeks with the announcement of Squares financial troubles and possible acquisition discussions with rivals like Google, PayPal, Apple and even Chase Paymentech. With a possible acquisition or merger, those micro and small merchants with Square are left to wonder if their payment processing needs will be migrated to another platform, and if their competitive rates and fees will start to rise as the cost of big business typically dictates. Square may even decide to go it alone, but if they do, will they be able to survive on the razor-thin margins that are made from this merchant segment, and will they ever be able to meet the needs of medium to large merchants who have more business demands? For the savvy merchant, its important to move past the transaction and partner with a payment processor that provides the services and solutions to help them build their business, run their business more effectively and one that has the loyalty tools available to provide a better customer experience for new and existing customers. eProcessing Network (ePN) understands what it takes to be successful for the long haul.
