      <title>Transparent Partners with Midigator to Bring State-of-Art Chargeback and Reporting System to Its Customers</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The robust analytics in Midigator help vendors identify and take action against chargebacks via Midigator’s reporting and patented management technology.</p><p>Scottsdale, AZ -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 08/24/2015 --  Transparent Merchant Services (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="https://www.trytransparent.com" href="https://www.trytransparent.com">https://www.trytransparent.com</a>), already delivers the most transparent merchant services for clients nationwide.

"Real-time merchant account monitoring is a win-win for all parties."<br />

It provides real-time merchant account monitoring and fights chargebacks to help merchants protect their bottom line. The robust analytics in Midigator help vendors identify and take action against chargebacks via Midigator&apos;s reporting and patented management technology.<br />
<br />
"We are pleased to announce this partnership with Transparent," said Corey Baggett, CEO of Midigator. "Now clients of this service will be able to add a layer of protection to their bottom line with predictive chargeback management and resolution services that help reduce losses."<br />
<br />
Midigator offers a number of benefits to its users, a few of which include:<br />
<br />

- Automated and methodical fighting of chargebacks.<br />
- CRM and ISO integration options.<br />

These reviews effectively rank the Scottsdale, Arizona, based provider in the upper echelon of POS services providers nationwide. <br />
<br />

-Better Business Bureau Report Card<br />
<br />
"In terms of how Transparent does business, I&apos;m generally impressed.

      <title>For More Convenient and Secure Payment Processing, Transparent Merchant Services Now Providing ACH/E-Check Processing</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Merchant Services Provider, Transparent, is proud to offer a more cost-effective solution for ACH/E-Check Processing.</p><p>Scottsdale, AZ -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 11/26/2014 --  Transparent Merchant Services (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.trytransparent.com" href="http://www.trytransparent.com">http://www.trytransparent.com</a>) is now offering ACH/E-Check processing as a service for businesses. Electronic Check Processing (ACH) through Transparent gives businesses the opportunity to accept check payments whether online, over the phone, or in person, significantly reducing the costs associated with paper check processing or through a traditional bank. Transparent&apos;s easy-to-use interface and secure online system also provides a secure Customer Vault for saving data and processing recurring payments with little to no hassle. <br />
<br />
Cost-Effective and Convenient <br />
<br />
The cost of electronic check processing is much cheaper than processing with paper, in some cases greater than 50%. It also eliminates the risks associated with losing the check on the way to the bank or having customer forget to sign the back. Electronic checks also carry an encryption feature that verifies the account number, dollar amount, and requires the use of a digital signature to check against the name of the account. <br />
<br />
Here are more of the benefits of accepting ACH as a form of payment:<br />
<br />
- Provides an alternative to credit cards<br />
- Offers a lower cost payment than either checks or credit cards<br />
- Quicker turnaround than the standard check. <br />
- Ability to serve customers unable to pay via credit card. <br />
<br />
ACH/E-Check Processing through Transparent Merchant Services<br />
<br />
Transparent Merchant Services offers solutions that are cost-effective, easy-to-understand, and efficient. "Similar to how we&apos;ve streamlined credit card processing through our unique service, we strive to help businesses with better solutions." Says Dustin Sparman, Founder of Transparent Merchant Services. "We wanted to provide a service for ACH processing with greater advantages." <br />
<br />
ACH/E-Check Processing from Transparent offers the following benefits at no additional cost: <br />
<br />
- Automatic, customizable receipts sent via email<br />
- Access to a virtual terminal from any location with internet access<br />
- Secure storage of customer information in our customer vault<br />
- Real time reporting with daily deposits <br />
- Scheduled batch settlement times<br />
- Easy uploading of batches<br />
- Ability to set up recurring billing accounts<br />
- Batch Settlement Notifications.<br />
- Auto re-presentment on NSF checks. <br />
<br />
Transparent&apos;s ACH Pricing<br />
<br />
Standard ACH processing can carry heavy monthly and per transaction fees.  With Transparent the Transparent ACH program is as simple as follows:<br />
<br />
- $19 per month<br />
- $19 per transaction <br />
- No sign up fees<br />
- No cancellation fees<br />
- No contracts<br />

      <title>Transparent Merchant Services Announces ClearListings, an All-in-One Solution for Accurate and Current Business Listings Online</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">ClearListings gives businesses the opportunity to maintain an up-to-date listing on all leading search engines, local, online, and mobile directories, providing visibility to over 220 million unique visitors.</p><p>Scottsdale, AZ -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 11/20/2014 --  Transparent Merchant Services (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.trytransparent.com" href="http://www.trytransparent.com">http://www.trytransparent.com</a>) is proud to announce a new service, ClearListings®. This cutting-edge service keeps all business information up to date with the correct call to actions and contact information, ridding the nuisances of customers dialing the wrong number or reaching an old address.<br />
<br />
An Accurate Reflection of Brand Perception<br />
<br />
Having consumers unable to reach a business due to an incorrect number, an outdated address, or a non-existent business listing can serve as a major detriment. Customers would often rather find another business that is correctly listed than have to find the correct and up-to-date contact information. Other factors including, but not limited to, having an inaccurate business name, not being listed, not including the hours of business, missing descriptions, or not having any special offers and promotions can have a severe impact into a business&apos; bottom line. <br />
<br />
Given the multitude of business networking platforms and search engines, keeping each and every profile accurate and up to date can be a daunting task—especially for businesses that consistently change location. Furthermore, including the contact information on all directories provides a major benefit to the Search Engine Optimization of a brand, bringing customers one-step closer to making the correct call. "ClearListings gives businesses the ability to tap into a whole new stream of potential customers by aggregating all local web and mobile directory sites in to one platform." says Dustin Sparman, Founder of Transparent Merchant Services, "Businesses can manage all of their business listings through over 50 directories and partner sites using only one account and one point of contact." <br />
<br />

      <title>For a Better Understanding in Payment Processing, Transparent Merchant Services Launches Online Resource Center: "Ask the Experts"</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Transparent Merchant Services aims to provide merchants with the resources and experience to help navigate the complex field of credit card processing.</p><p>Scottsdale, AZ -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 09/17/2014 --  To give small businesses a better understanding of merchant accounts, Transparent Merchant Services (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.trytransparent.com" href="http://www.trytransparent.com">http://www.trytransparent.com</a>) is proud to announce the launch of a new online resource center: "Ask the Experts." More than an FAQ, these articles will be geared toward addressing the most-common causes of confusion businesses have with merchant services in an easy-to-read format that is in-depth and informative. <br />
<br />
Empowering Businesses through a Better Understanding<br />
<br />
Transparent believes that the relationship between a merchant and their provider should be one of mutual benefit. Aside from offering a simplified service free of contracts and hidden fees, Transparent aims to empower businesses with a better understanding of what it takes to process payments. Misunderstandings about the way merchant services work are leading businesses into paying more than they should. In an industry full of pitches, pricing schemes, and contradictory details, there is a great need for honesty and credibility.  Transparent aims to be the authority on merchant account information by helping businesses make better decisions with their payment processing options.  <br />
<br />
"We want businesses to know what they&apos;re getting out of their Merchant Account."  Says Dustin Sparman, Founder of Transparent Merchant Services, "It&apos;s more than simplicity: it&apos;s having an improved understanding that improves businesses." <br />
<br />
A Clarified Approach to Merchant Accounts.  <br />
<br />
The experts at Transparent will be addressing a full curriculum of varying subjects including:<br />
<br />
-What is PCI Compliance? <br />
-What are Chargebacks and how do they affect my business? <br />
-What is the EMV deadline and how can I be prepared? <br />
-What does the Durbin Amendment mean for my business? <br />
-What is a Payment Gateway?  How does it work? <br />
-What determines whether or not my business is "high-risk"? <br />
-What is a Merchant Category Code? <br />
-What are Interchange Fees? <br />
<br />
In addition to providing a complete disclosure of the way the industry works, businesses will be better equipped to understand credit card processing quotes, how the different pricing models work, and how to get the most beneficial service possible. With a better understanding of what to look for, what to avoid, as well as what services and protections are essential, a better way to do business awaits. <br />
