Maas Global Solutions Leverages TSYS’s Summit Platform for Added Payment Processing Functionality

MGS integrates the Summit platform to expand merchant services

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) January 03, 2012

Maas Global announced today the integration of the Paymentsite Gateway with the TSYS in-house payment capture system known as Summit. Using the processing power of the TSYS traditional platform, Summit expands the options and services available to merchants. The added services provide Maas Global agents and ISO’s with an even greater opportunity to win new business and increase revenue. Summit offers host capture, a service that moves transaction data storage, batch creation and the payment acceptance logic from the point-of-sale (POS) device to the TSYS host. This relieves the POS device from having to store sensitive data and significantly reduces compliance-related terminal downloads.

Host capture also eliminates the need for retail merchants to "close their batch" on their terminal at the end of every day. Store managers often forget to close their batch, which in effect costs them additional processing fees—host capture ensures that once they run the transaction, they are done. And the host capture feature is ideal not only for retail sales environments, but also for any ecommerce, mail and telephone order merchants who want automated settlement. It furthermore simplifies business logic for Maas Global, eliminating the need to build a separate Paymentsite service to settle merchant batches.

With the added functionality this platform represents, agents, ISO’s and ultimately the merchants will be able to take advantage of processing benefits like transaction multi-threading and level II & III purchasing card processing as well as a wide array of other features that merchants demand in today’s competitive payments marketplace. The Summit platform also has broad industry and connectivity support for all types of merchants. “We are excited about the added utility this new platform represents for both our agents as well as our merchant customers,” said Troy Maas, CEO of Maas Global Solutions. Troy went on to say that “…the Summit platform rounds out our product offering and helps cement our processing partnership with TSYS.”
