“Selecting the right partner to help us bring an enhanced and unique value proposition to the market was the main factor in our decision to launch our merchant acquiring division,” said Martin Hyman, President of CFSB. “In Canada, PayFacto enjoys a leadership position in the payments space. Partnering with PayFacto for their US operations is the ideal strategy to build upon our existing service offering as an issuing bank by launching a complementary acquiring division, and one that sets us apart from the rest of the market,” he added.
PayFacto boasts an in-depth knowledge of payment processing and is recognized for its expertise, agility and quality of execution.
