The alliance will support the integration of Community Brands into the BluePay Gateway, part of First Data’s CardConnect ISV platform.

First Data acquired CardConnect and BluePay last year and subsequently merged them into a single integrated payments platform under the CardConnect brand. This ISV service enables software companies to include secure payment processing within SaaS, mobile and point-of-sale applications.

First Data executive vice-president and CardConnect head Jeff Shanahan said: “First Data is committed to supporting the missions of membership organisations by delivering the most advanced and secure payment technology to help Community Brands achieve their goals.

“Our services and expertise will enable Community Brands to deliver the best payments solution to their customers.”
