Merchants’ Choice Payment Solutions Acquires Silverton Bank Portfolio of Agent Banks





THE WOODLANDS, Texas--PIN Payments News Blog--Merchants’ Choice Payment Solutions (MCPS), announced the acquisition of the portfolio of agent bank relationships from Silverton Bank in Atlanta, Georgia.



“We are excited to have the opportunity to serve Silverton's agent banks and their merchant customers,” said Stan Paur, president and CEO of Merchants’ Choice Payment Solutions. “We will be working with the Silverton staff to insure an efficient and seamless transition over the next few months. I believe the financial institutions and their merchants will be very pleased with the levels of support and the quality of service they receive from MCPS.”



The acquisition brings Silverton’s agent banks and merchant customers into an existing network that delivers premium payment processing behind the scenes while banks retain their business banking relationships. The move adds several hundred banking institutions and several thousand merchants to the MCPS agent bank program. MCPS offers a wide array of credit, debit, check, and other payment services across multiple industries. Paur added that the acquisition of the Silverton portfolio represents the first of a number of initiatives to expand the MCPS agent bank and merchant bank program.



The integration will continue through the end of the year as Merchants’ Choice works to provide immediate value for their new merchant customers and agent bank partners.
