Austin, Texas, April 16, 2014 – Orion Payment Systems, a Houston-based provider of merchant services, has selected SecureNet™ as the firm’s technology partner for omnichannel payment solutions. Through the partnership, Orion merchants will be able to accept payments at point-of-sale, online or on a mobile device through a single merchant account.

SecureNet is a quicker, more efficient and streamlined alternative to inflexible, legacy mainframe systems traditional to the industry. With easy integration via SecureNet’s payment APIs, Orion will see quicker onboarding and integration while expanding its enterprise level payments offering.

“In our search for an alternative processing provider, the decision was simple once we learned what SecureNet could deliver,” said Chase Oelkers, Orion SVP, sales and marketing. “Orion’s go-forward strategy is to offer our merchants a frictionless boarding experience with state-of-the-art processing solutions ranging from integrated point-of-sale to mobile payments to the robust e-commerce engine. Most importantly, we can offer all of these processing options through our omni-commerce value proposition, which is very appealing to our clients as it simplifies the processing relationship.”

New SecureNet PayOS features like integrated inventory management and real-time business analytics will empower Orion merchants to accept payments anywhere, while giving them the data they need to grow their business.

“Orion is a company that puts our customer first, and that is something we look for in a partner – a like-minded organization that is professional, technologically astute and a leader in the payments industry,” said Reese Kimball, CEO of Orion. “With SecureNet, we’ve developed a close relationship with the management team based on respect and trust that goes all the way down to our Texas roots.”
