Paycorp International can integrate with a bank’s legacy payment systems and offer our merchant business partners the ability to accept American Express, Diners Club and Discover Network online card payments without any merchant-side technical integration work. This partnership will enable a seamless plug-and-play solution that we believe is a unique benefit to our wide network of business merchant partners.”
