When the majority of a business’ income is received via electronic payment methods, choosing the right partner to manage these transactions is imperative to the ongoing success of a business.

Nationwide Payment Solutions (NPS) gives retailers the confidence of knowing that they have chosen a trustworthy and long-term business partner. “With the recent shift in the economy, we are finding a definitive desire for retailers to do business with people who they can trust,” says Nationwide’s co-founder and CEO Jamie Nonni. NPS offers credit, debit and check card processing, electronic check acceptance (including Check 21), electronic medical claims/authorizations, e-commerce solutions and electronic gift and loyalty card marketing programs.

As a registered merchant service provider, NPS manages all aspects of electronic payment processing from its corporate headquarters in Scarborough, Maine. “We underwrite all merchant applications, manage risk monitoring and provide 24/7 technical support. Our help desk and customer support teams continue to provide the quality service that the company was founded on,” says co-founder Patrick Allen.

Nonni and Allen started NPS in 2002 when the company where they had worked as sales managers dissolved. Nonni and Allen saw the opportunity to establish a merchant services company based in Maine. They were, and remain, committed to building a company dedicated to providing high levels of customer service, advanced technology and long-term business partnerships. Starting with just 13 staff members, the company now employs more than 60 individuals at its headquarters in Scarborough, and another 200 independent sales professionals around the country.

The company’s growth strategy centers on creating new and more efficient technology that adapts to individual customer’s evolving needs. “If we find there is a demand for a solution, we do our best to design something that accommodates the needs of our customers,” says Nonni.

One of NPS’ most recent developments is a unique solution called MuniciPAY. MuniciPAY allows governments to offer their citizens the convenience of making payments via credit/ debit cards, and prevents the municipality from absorbing the fees associated with card acceptance. Citizens can now pay car registrations, obtain fishing licenses and pay property taxes with a credit or debit card.

“Our mission is to treat industry merchants and sales professionals as true partners in our quest to become the standard of ethics in the processing industry,” says Nonni. “NPS is committed to helping merchants maximize the benefits and minimize the costs of accepting non-cash payments, giving retailers the freedom to focus on what is important to them — running their business.”
