SmartEquip Partners with Currency for Credit and Debit Payments and More
SmartEquip announced a new partnership with Currency, which will all suppliers on its network the ability to take payment by credit and debit card, to extend credit on account, or finance transactions processed over the network.
"Currency is thrilled to be partnering with the industry's leading B2B/B2C platform for manufacturers and distributors and to enable them to seamlessly transact with their customers," said Jered Takeuchi, executive vice president of Currency. "By integrating CurrencyPay® into the SmartEquip technology suite, processing payment will be easier than ever at all points of sale, including eCommerce, invoices and in-store transactions. The addition of Currency's broad payments and financing solutions to SmartEquip will further extend its lead as the premier technology platform for all sellers on the network."
SmartEquip's ultimate goal is to strategically partner with companies to develop new features and capabilities to help drive its customers' business forward. Offering fleet owners an expanded list of payment options (credit and debit cards, ACH, equipment and working capital financing), will allow customers to break through the tech-driven disruption and come out ahead with a tech-enabled business model.
"Currency is a natural fit for our technology solutions and completes our product offering by allowing SmartEquip to extend its reach to companies of all sizes," says Fernando Pinera, CEO of SmartEquip. “The integration of CurrencyPay into our platform will transform how our customers do business while also offering new multi-manufacturer e-Commerce opportunities to keep our customers moving towards the new horizon of digitization."
Currency provides merchants and customers with a digital experience throughout the equipment buying process, whether online in an eCommerce environment, in-store at the point-of-sale or embedded into the merchant's invoicing software.
Within each of these environments, customers select their preferred method of payment – credit/debit card, ACH, financing, or a split between multiple payment methods. Currency can handle small to large transactions providing customers with enhanced purchasing power at their fingertips.
For merchants, transactions are easily managed inside the merchant portal for easy tracking and reporting. For more information, visit http://www.gocurrency.com
