On April 9, 2012 Greensheet.com posted a company profile of payment processor Electronic Payment Exchange (EPX). The Greensheet, a semi-monthly publication that focuses on the payment industry’s ISO and merchant level channels, provides news, editorial articles, company profiles and product reviews to interested professionals. The profile separated EPX from its competitors by mentioning EPX’s 50% close rate, lower prices than competing ISOs, and benefits of EPX’s business model, like no gateway fees charged to merchants.
By covering some of EPX’s primary markets, namely Healthcare, Self-Service and E-commerce markets, potential clients and Greensheet readers now have another name to consider. Or possibly a whole lot fewer: EPX stands out against other processors.
“If you look at EPX’s reporting tool, it’s very dynamic. You can pull all kinds of information out of the Web suite tool in any format you need,” stated Tom Varian, Chief Executive Officer of RIVA Payments. Potential EPX clients will be interested to hear that with ten user-defined fields, merchants can use EPX’s reporting tool to electronically deliver any type of data or report required.
But it’s not simply EPX’s competitive business model and reporting tools that interest Greensheet.com. Varian goes on to say, “You get the benefits of a robust processing platform, but when you do business with them, you get the feeling of being part of their family.” The staff at EPX is well trained and capable of meeting the needs of almost any merchant, including brick-and-mortar, Internet, MO/TO and electronic payment accepting merchants. Its offerings to an already diverse Healthcare market are also increasing, EPX provides service for roughly 400 healthcare clients, and this number is increasing.

EPX helps top online education organizations reduce their payment processing costs
February 28th, 2012The education marketplace has changed considerably over the past few years.
As the demands of students become more diverse, institutions must adapt to meet these needs. As online education becomes increasingly prevalent, colleges and universities must ensure online data security in addition to providing top notch education.
Electronic Payment Exchange (EPX) is in position to ensure this security, by providing top-of-the-line payment processing technologies at a fraction of the cost of other providers.
The world of higher education is developing an increasing online presence due to the demands of its students. Online education is convenient because it offers the student flexibility in schedule and location and availability of content, and each student can progress at his or her own pace. Online education can only be expected to grow as more educational facilities utilize these technologies. In fact, in just the autumn of 2007, 3.9 million students took an online course. This number continues to increase, and as a result, security must be a priority for any institution with a large online presence.
It’s not simply online courses that are expanding these days. Methods of payment are changing, as well. Credit card payments for tuition have been steadily rising since 2003. In fact, most of the 4,300 degree-granting institutions of higher education in the US accept multiple methods of payment. That’s not simply for tuition; it is also for school stores (both online and off) and athletic events, as well as other school functions. For this reason, today’s top universities and colleges require a payment processor that has the capability to match the complex set of requirements demanded by their institution. EPX is in the perfect position to handle the sensitive needs of any educational institution.
EPX is very familiar with the needs of today’s top educators, and we provide payment processing services to 7 of the top 10 online education organizations. EPX has a long history of working to reduce payment processing costs and providing protection from payment data breach.
EPX’s end-to-end process provides educational institutions with an accountable, single point of contact for the entire life cycle of each of their transactions. A partnership with EPX not only simplifies their payment processing, but also lowers costs and provides peace of mind in knowing their transactions are secure. EPX provides proven payment processing solutions to educational institutions of all types, including: Private and Public Higher Educational Institutions, Secondary Educational Institutions, as well as Career Training and Technical schools. These institutions trust EPX’s custom-designed, secure technologies to provide them security and flexibility of payment, and rightly so. Our payment processing options can be custom fit to match the requirements of any educational institution. As a result, EPX offers institutions more than large scale providers. EPX allows educational institutions to continue to expand their instructional offerings and maintain their educational identity without having to worry about the security of sensitive data.
