Amsterdam, NL/12 September 2024: Silverflow, the innovative cloud-native payment processing company, has struck a new partnership with Chesapeake Bank, a community bank renowned for its commitment to embracing innovation in payments. This collaboration aims to provide Chesapeake Bank’s ISO clients with a modern, high-performance, and robust payment processing solution.
By leveraging Silverflow’s state-of-the-art processing platform, Chesapeake Bank, through its division, Chesapeake Payment Systems, will significantly enhance its service offerings, adding the capabilities of a more advanced and agile infrastructure. This partnership not only improves the bank’s processing capabilities but also positions it as an early adopter of new technology, consistent with its history of embracing innovations such as the RTP real-time payments network.
Chesapeake Bank, known for its technology-savvy approach, will provide the BIN/ICA to be integrated into Silverflow’s platform. TRX Services, the ISO partner, will handle the actual integration, with Silverflow ensuring a seamless transition and maintaining continuity for their existing BIN sponsorship services.
Scott Martin, CEO of TRX Services, added: “Our commitment at TRX Services is to provide secure, highly reliable processing while also delivering innovation that empowers our customers to better serve their customers. Partnering with Silverflow continues to be a true win-win for both organizations. Now, with the partnership between Silverflow and Chesapeake Bank, we have even greater opportunities to create new solutions that meet the needs of a dynamic marketplace.”
This follows Silverflow’s existing partnership with TRX Services, to help US merchants gain more control of their payments. The deal meant that TRX Service’s current and new clients were provided with more capabilities to enhance the management of customer payments.
