In addition, the program will provide small business merchants a single source for payment processing, pricing, underwriting, risk management, settlement, reporting, support and a consolidated statement.
Global Payments Canada president Rene Belanger said: "We are pleased to be the first acquirer in Canada to roll-out OptBlue, offering small business merchants an easy, convenient and affordable way to accept American Express.
"OptBlue is an exciting addition to Global Payments’ extensive product and service offering. It allows us to provide our existing merchant clients with a full one-stop servicing solution for all major card brands and expand our network, as well as engage with small business merchants that don’t currently accept American Express products."
