Today Host Merchant Services announced that they have entered into a strategic partnership with cloud hosting services provider ServInt. This is a smart business alliance because it will give ServInt the ability to provide flexible and customizable credit card processing services to its customers quickly and efficiently. ServInt, is based just outside Washington D.C. in the beautiful town of McLean, VA. It has been providing hosting services since 1995.
Merchant service processing companies can form strategic business partnerships like this and allow for easy integration between their customer base as credit card processing companies like Host Merchant Services can compliment the customer base of ServInt. Most business analysts would see this as an opportunity for SerVint to make credit card processing royalties off of their customer base, while providing an integrated payment processing solution to their hosting customers.
