When Proverbs Payments was looking for a payment processing partner, they wanted a company that shared the same business values and ethics as them. AFS was the partner that fit the bill. The dedication to honest pricing and reliable support were driving factors in Proverbs Payments selecting us as their partner.
System for Success:
To better support the merchants that they were onboarding, Proverbs Payments were looking for a partner that could provide the systems they needed for this.

The current partner they were boarding with was not able to to meet their needs as they were beginning to lose merchants.
