Clearent Adds Chesapeake Bank as Second Sponsor

Clearent partners with Chesapeake Bank to provide merchant credit card processing services.

Clayton, MO, August 05, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Today Clearent, one of the fastest growing payment processors, announced a partnership with Chesapeake Bank, who will provide sponsor bank services for Clearent. Clearent and Chesapeake Bank will jointly offer unique merchant services programs to Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) and agents who are looking to grow their portfolios and residual income.

Clearent was attracted to Chesapeake Bank because of its customer-centric approach to credit card processing services. Chesapeake Bank has extensive merchant services experience from running its own merchant services program and sponsoring other providers. This strong track record helped them rank at #16 in the nation and #1 in Virginia on American Banker Magazine’s List of the Top 200 Community Banks in the United States.

Chesapeake Bank was eager to form a relationship with Clearent because of its proprietary processing system that connects directly to Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. Clearent’s technology enables it to offer extremely flexible – yet simple – merchant pricing, true next day funding with a 9:00 Eastern cut off, and detailed statements and residual reports. “We are very selective about sponsoring new partners. With Clearent, we bring a combined offer to the market that is truly unique,” commented Bryan Edmonds, SVP, Managing Director of Merchant Acquiring Services for Chesapeake Bank. “Our differentiated program will be highly attractive to ISOs, agents, and merchants.”

“I’m excited about our new relationship with Chesapeake Bank and how we will help each other continue to outpace industry growth rates,” said Dan Geraty, CEO of Clearent. “Chesapeake Bank takes a fresh, common sense approach to the industry like we do, which will help us continue to provide innovative credit card processing services to our customers.”
