As a commercial merchant services company, your services provide businesses with exactly what they’ll need to accept electronic payment transactions like credit cards and debit cards which is crucial for maintaining a user-friendly and up-to-date form of payment. If these businesses are missing payments for your services or simply not paying their final invoices, it can create issues for your company—timely, stressful, and costly ones that impact labor, tools, leasing, and much more.
At Southwest Recovery Services, we have handled thousands of merchant services industry collection cases and continue to provide our clients with efficient, timely services. We offer many merchant collection services, including customer contact, invoice management, collection and legal action if necessary.
Let your merchant services company handle what they do best. Southwest Recovery Services can take care of the rest.
Collection Challenges for the Merchant Services Industry
In-house debt collection—specifically from unpaid invoices—can be a major problem for merchant services industry companies. After 90 days, these debts become increasingly more difficult to collect and, more often than not, internal accounting teams are unlikely to have the experience and tools necessary to deal with delinquent accounts receivable management.
Special training and education are needed to understand debt collection best practices. This can be difficult to provide to an existing team as it takes time that most merchant services companies simply don’t have. While most companies might think it’s cost effective to hire new employees, this isn’t actually the case. Onboarding, creating new infrastructure, attorney cost, credit bureaus, and research tools are all required as a part of the hiring process and can end up costing a merchant service industry company more than the debt they need to collect.
Hiring a well-respected, experienced merchant services industry collection agency can cut down on cost, time, and overall stress that can arise from trying to collect unpaid invoices from multiple customers.
