Atlanta, Sept. 8, 2015 – National Benefit Programs (NBP), which partners with ISOs and processors to offer value-added benefits to small and medium-sized merchants at highly discounted prices, today announced it has entered into an agreement with Grand & Toy to provide office products, services and solutions to its Canadian merchants.

Grand & Toy, an Office Depot Company, is the latest vendor added as NBP continues to expand into the Canadian marketplace, helping members reduce operating costs and improve cash flow.

“Businesses can’t thrive without access to essential supplies and equipment,” said Diane Faro, President of National Benefit Programs. “Our partnership with Grand & Toy provides our members with substantial discounts on office supplies, allowing them to put those savings towards growing their business and help level the playing field with big box, chain and franchise businesses.”

By partnering with Grand & Toy, NBP’s Canadian merchants will have access to discounts on select office supplies, equipment, and furniture – items all businesses need to operate and grow.

"National Benefit Programs’ commitment to offering convenience and competitive pricing to business owners mirrors Grand & Toy’s commitment to our customers," said Stan Dabic, Regional Vice President of Sales, Grand & Toy. "This partnership further cements our goal to help small-to-medium sized businesses better compete in the marketplace.”

With the Grand & Toy partnership, NBP now offers Canadian merchants the ability to conveniently obtain all office supplies from one reliable site – their own branded web portal. Merchants will have access to competitive pricing available through NBP’s global buying power and increased visibility over office spending to exercise cost control methods.
