Payment-processing company Clover, which was acquired by First Data in 2012, announced it will soon launch the Clover Online Store, a complete ecommerce platform for small businesses.

The offering is an all-in-one solution that delivers professional-looking web design and secure ecommerce capabilities. Clover is integrating the ecommerce offering with its in-store POS terminals, which range from a simple dongle to a fully-fledged countertop station. The combined solution will enable Clover to deliver an omnichannel shopping experience for end-customers and a comprehensive view of sales metrics and management capability across channels for small businesses.

Similar to Square’s ecommerce offering, the Clover Online Store lets users select from a variety of professionally designed web templates and guides them through the steps needed to create a responsive-design website and online store. Businesses can start accepting payments directly on their website using Clover’s open API.

Booker, an online scheduling platform for service-oriented small businesses, is the first third-party to build on the Clover API. Josh McCarter, CEO of Booker, is excited about the new capabilities the Clover Online Store will bring to its client base, “The combination of the Clover Online Store and Booker is a game-changer for SMB service businesses that will benefit from the first completely integrated business management and payment solution, allowing business owners to focus on the work they enjoy.”

Clover debuted at FinovateSpring 2012. The Clover Online Store is launching next month and will be available for free to small business customers until the end of this year.

Cachet Financial Solutions to Power Mobile Account Opening for PAYTOO

Cachet Financial Solutions to Power Mobile Account Opening for PAYTOO

CachetFinancialHomepage2016

New clients of mobile wallet service PAYTOO can save tedious mobile keystrokes for their next text message, thanks to a new partnership with SaaS mobile-banking-technology provider Cachet Financial Solutions. This week, the Minnesota-based company announced that PAYTOO has selected Cachet to power mobile account opening for its mobile wallet solution.

Cachet’s Select Mobile Money will enable PAYTOO clients to open an account by using the camera on their smartphone or the ID scanner on a PAYTOO kiosk to take a picture of their state ID. Cachet uses the image to verify the user’s identity and prefill application-form fields, which helps reduce abandonment.

Cachet debuted Select Mobile Money at FinovateFall 2014, showing how its prepaid card offerings power a full suite of mobile financial services, including expedited bill pay, card-to-card transfer, remittance, and mobile deposit.

Last year, Cachet integrated Select Mobile Money with Apple Pay, allowing consumers to add a prepaid card to their Apple Wallet. In February, the company appointed Bryan Meier as its new CFO.

CUneXus, creator of sales and marketing technologies for lenders, recently partnered with Massachusetts-based Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU), who will integrate the California-based company’s cplXpress into its mobile platform.

The partnership will enable DCU to send its 550,000 members personalized loan offers based on their behavior, location, and credit. The “click-to-accept” functionality of cplXpress delivers preapproved loan offers to reach the client at their point of decision.

CUneXus has also teamed up with mobile-app personalization-platform MobileRQ, which will add geo-targeting and personalized messages that factor in behavior, time, and geography, to DCU’s loan offers. MobileRQ CEO Tyler McKinley speaks to the power of the blended solution, “Combining the CUneXus on-demand lending solution with MobileRQ’s data-driven, mobile personalization platform enables financial institutions to drive multiproduct revenue growth and to simply service customers and members better.”

CUneXusAutoXpress

In addition to integrating cplXpress, DCU will pilot AutoXpress, which CUneXus will debut at FinovateSpring next month. AutoXpress, the result of a partnership between CUneXus and Edmunds, is an in-app car-purchasing experience that lets buyers view local dealers’ inventory, select a pre-approved loan option in a single click, and review payment preferences, all within the lender’s online platform.

CUneXus launched in 2011 and last presented cplXpress at FinovateSpring 2015. The company has raised a total of $1.7 million and recently partnered with Digital Insight.
