Wellingborough, UK, Oct. 22, 2020 — UK-based retail and online payments solution provider Arivpay has chosen Malta-based acquirer Truevo to supply point-of-sale card terminals and ecommerce acquiring services to their network of 10,000 businesses around the UK. Businesses will be supported primarily in London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Liverpool then expand to Scotland, Wales, and other parts of the UK.
Arivpay supports brick and mortar businesses with payment solutions, particularly specialising in convenience stores, restaurants and pubs.
“Truevo is a perfect match for Arivpay,” said Rajshankar Balasingham, CEO of Arivpay. “We’ve been looking for a new POS solution for merchants in the UK which also provides e-commerce acquiring, and Truevo is it. Truevo sells the newest generation of terminals. Both merchant onboarding and settlement are quick. We’ll be one of the first large providers to offer Truevo’s service in the UK. This gives us a huge advantage over businesses which only provide payments products from traditional market players.”
Arivpay wanted to differentiate itself from competitors with card machines which represent the latest technology in point-of-sale systems. Many UK stores and restaurants rely on older terminals which Balasingham described as, “old, chunky devices connected to phone lines.” Terminals such as these are not ideal for today’s business environment. For example, they cannot process payments while merchants receive a telephone call.
“Truevo’s fees are clear,” he said. “They don’t use merchants’ lack of knowledge to make their margins, and neither do we. We didn’t want a partner with confusing fees that we would need to pass on to our customers. We’ve seen enough situations where merchants pay more than what they expect to pay, and we’re glad alongside Truevo to offer a straightforward statement that any customer can read and understand easily.”
Arivpay recently broke into the ecommerce space and is now servicing travel agencies and ecommerce retail companies. “Arivpay needed a partner which would grow with them as they build their online customer base,” said Jon Barras, Truevo UK and ROI General Manager. “We’re delighted to provide them with a best in class POS solution for their established base of stores and restaurants while also supporting their newer demand for online payments. We share Arivpay’s mission of taking the burden off of small businesses and finding the best payment solution.”
Both Truevo and Arivpay have ambitions to launch their point-of-sale solution beyond the UK into Europe. Arivpay is poised to be a key partner in Truevo’s new country launches.
