The acquired firm fuses the complicated multivendor environment, streamlines the underwriting and onboarding process, and shortens the funding cycle.
SwervePay’s electronic payment platform makes payments easy and needs no app download or portal sign-in.
The platform facilitates text-to-pay, same-day settlement options for ACH and credit cards, and account balance automated messages.
Ontario Systems CEO Tim O’Brien said: “The market is ripe for innovation, and we have an ongoing focus on evolving into a SaaS platform to help our 1,200 clients accelerate revenue and decrease operating costs through frictionless payments, efficient processes, and increased business intelligence.
