NextPay, a provider of merchant and bankcard services, signed a multi-year agreement to act as the exclusive credit card processor for Retail Shipping Associates (RSA), a retail mail and parcel trade organization with over 3000 members in all 50 states.

Under the terms of the agreement, NextPay will offer its full suite of services to members of RSA, including credit and debit card processing, eCheck and ACH processing, recurring and online billing as well as its payment gateway and virtual terminal technologies.

"As the economy continues to be soft, 'mom and pop' retailers are impacted at a troubling rate," says Brandon Gale, president of RSA. "Our members fit that demographic. They are typically small, single-store operations struggling to cut costs and become more efficient. Nextpay's combination of rate, technology and customer service makes this very compelling for our members."

"RSA members will get even more than just a great price on processing," continues Gale. "The NextPay member benefit program offered under this new agreement will also save our members time as it makes the complex, and sometimes confusing, world of credit card processing more transparent."

"We are very excited to enter into this agreement with RSA. At NextPay, we know we can make a real difference in how these merchants are processing customers' credit cards. RSA merchants will find that NextPay's pricing is more straight forward than traditional processors and our proprietary technology is simple to use and highly secure," says Lynn Varnell, chief operating officer, NextPay. *
