Innovation-minded partnership will help grow payment and transaction solutions in key industries including restaurants
With digital payment options continuing to drive innovation in the restaurant and retail space, Blackhawk Network is entering a relationship with point-of-sale software pioneer, Custom Business Solutions (CBS). CBS offers innovative digital solutions for restaurants and retailers, and Blackhawk’s leading payment solution capabilities will help drive continued growth in the point-of-sale space.
“Driving scalable, omni-channel payment options for our clients positions us for success as leaders and innovators in the space.”
As trends in payments continue to expand to include alternative payment methods such as digital wallets, cryptocurrencies and Buy Now, Pay Later, this collaboration drives a major advantage for restaurant and retail partners. Research1 from Blackhawk shows that 63 percent of respondents report they are more likely to shop at a retailer if they accept the digital payments they use, and 73 percent of respondents say they want to be able to pay the same way they pay online and in-store1. Most critically for the restaurant space is the fact that a secure (47%), fast (36%) and easy (39%) checkout process are factors that matter most to surveyed consumers.
