In conversation with Angela Cherry, the President of SecureStream Pay Solutions

Q. What is SecureStream Pay Solutions’ story?  Why did you decide to start a company in the payments processing sector?

The original founder established a regional processing company and proved, throughout the years of servicing numerous accounts that they could provide not only the most cost-effective processing solutions but also a high level of service that large and growing businesses desperately needed.

As a client of the founder, we had a front-row seat to the outstanding deliverables, allowing us to make comparisons with others in my industry who were not using their services. It was with this valuable insight that we decided to acquire their book of business and take a more aggressive approach to serving both the hospitality and convenience markets nationwide. In addition to incorporating their service and sales teams, I, an industry veteran, was brought on board to lead the organization and merge the two processors into one entity known as Secure Stream Pay Solutions. With thousands of merchant connections, we have a bright future ahead of us.

Q. How has SecureStream Pay Solutions grown since its founding?

Secure Stream has dedicated the first half of this year to ensuring that our services, execution, accounting, and infrastructure are all in place for growth. We have already reached out to leaders representing over 2,000 merchant locations, and many test sites are set to come online in the latter half of 2024.

Q. How does SecureStream Pay Solutions deliver cutting-edge payment processing solutions for its clients?

At SecureStream Pay Solutions, our mission is simple: to empower businesses of all sizes with secure, efficient, and customized payment solutions. We acknowledge that the payment landscape is always evolving, and we are dedicated to assisting our clients in remaining at the forefront of these advancements. Our objective is to furnish you with the necessary tools and expertise to excel in an ever-growing digital realm.

Q. What are the different types of services SecureStream Pay Solutions offers?

We offer a range of payment solutions, including credit card processing for in-person, mobile, and e-commerce transactions, as well as electronic check and ACH processing. Our services also extend to gift and loyalty programs, B2B processing, and cash discounting programs.

Q. What are the reasons for clients to choose to work with SecureStream Pay Solutions over its rivals?

What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to transparency, highly competitive pricing, and unparalleled customer service. Our merchants rave about the outstanding experience they have had with us, as our service consistently outshines that of our competitors. Unlike other companies in the industry, we don’t require contracts, impose termination fees, or burden clients with setup charges. We also don’t subject our clients to the frustration of calling a generic and impersonal 1-800 number. Instead, we provide direct access to my dedicated team, ensuring immediate assistance for business owners, board leaders, and managers who need uninterrupted productivity throughout their busy days.

Q. What were some of the most memorable challenges you and the team at SecureStream Pay Solutions have overcome?

We understand the difficulties presented by the saturated and, at times, deceptive environment of the merchant processing field. This industry is fiercely competitive and can often be unclear, leaving clients feeling stuck with promises left unfulfilled, pricing that is hard to decipher, and service that falls short of expectations. SecureStream Pay Solutions is dedicated to revitalizing trust and assurance in the industry by making integrity, transparency, competitive rates, and exceptional customer service top priorities. This distinctive approach sets our company apart, giving clients a dependable and trustworthy alternative.

Q. What are SecureStream Pay Solutions’s plans for the future?

SecureStream Pay Solutions is dedicated to maximizing revenue, profitability, and market valuation while upholding a robust balance sheet and sustainable growth. Our company is strategically positioning itself to form key partnerships within the financial industry and related sectors, with a focus on collaborations with banks, e-commerce platforms, and cybersecurity firms. By doing so, we aim to expand our reach and enhance our offerings, providing comprehensive payment solutions. Furthermore, our unwavering commitment to enhancing the customer experience includes streamlining payment processes, delivering personalized services, and providing exceptional customer support.
