Today, thanks to Fintech, medium-sized companies can benefit from different financial tools. One of these tools is payment processors, through which companies can accept electronic payments through various methods (credit cards, debit cards, and cryptocurrencies, among others); this allows companies to expand their operations to reach new markets and provide their customers with a better experience when making transactions.
Although several companies offer this type of service, not all can meet the needs of medium-sized companies; for this reason, we will discuss the main characteristics that a payment processor for medium-sized companies should have.
Data register
One of the main features that a payment processor for medium-sized businesses must have is the ability to provide intuitive and easy-to-access data logging. This way, medium-sized companies can use this information to perform an in-depth analysis of all the transactions carried out through the payment processor and better manage their financial assets.
Compatibility and flexibility in payments
A payment processor needs to be highly compatible, flexible, and versatile because, as companies grow and reach new markets, the need to handle multiple payment methods and currencies increases.
Therefore, the payment processor must support various currencies, such as credit cards, debit cards, bank transfers, e-wallets, and cryptocurrencies; this will allow customers to feel more comfortable and have a better user experience, resulting in more sales and satisfied customers.
Security level and regulatory compliance
A payment processor for medium-sized businesses must have a high level of security and comply with the financial industry’s different regulations and security standards. In this way, the payment processor will comply with particular security protocols, in addition to having the ability to detect fraudulent activities, validate payment methods, detect unauthorized transactions, manage chargeback payments (detection of funds or available credit), and guarantee compliance with the different regulations against money laundering.
Reliability level
A payment processor must offer a service with a high level of reliability. To achieve this objective, the payment processor must inform its clients about the capacity or scope of its service, contractual terms, and conditions, in addition to the list of fees/costs that certain operations, transactions, or maintenance of the payment processor may generate. The higher the level of reliability, the greater the security and fluidity of the transactions carried out by the payment processor.
Integration and use of the tool
Payment processors for medium-sized companies must be friendly, intuitive, and easy-to-integrate tools. They should have an application programming interface (API) to integrate with different e-commerce platforms and applications, thus improving the company’s e-payment processes and operational efficiency.
A supplier experienced in medium-sized businesses
The needs and level of operations vary according to the size of each company. For example, a medium-sized company has more operations than a small or micro company. Because of this, the provider (behind the payment processor) must have experience with medium-sized businesses, as this will allow the payment processor to adjust to the needs of the medium-sized business: several transactions, compatibility with other systems/ platforms, regulations, standards, etc.
