NSP Services:

Call Center Services


In today’s business environment, the resources required for back-office operations and customer support often distract even the most experienced executive from being focused on product development and revenue growth. As a result, many companies make concessions or simply fail to recognize the importance of providing live telephone support and instead, they mistakenly only provide e-mail support. This failure to provide live customer service will often have detrimental consequences in the form of increased customer disputes and ultimately, chargebacks.

As an extension of the company's payment gateway and processing services, Network Systems Plus offers an optional pay-per-call service whereby NSP clients can outsource telephone-based support to NSP’s customer service center. This highly trained and U.S. based team of call center professionals are experts at handling customer inquiries and available 24x7 to mitigate cardholder disputes.

Prepaid Services / Account Funding – most acquiring banks are wary of the extended consumer liability associated with prepaid and top-up services and therefore either prohibit these merchants or abuse them with High-Risk pricing

Multi-National Customer Base – international customers in new markets offer revenue growth but limited verification techniques will threaten program success if chargebacks are not properly managed

Risk Management


Risk management, fraud scrubbing and loss prevention all describe an ongoing process of constant adaptation and vigilance that requires state-of-the-art fraud mitigation tools tuned to the specific merchant industry.

A basic tenet: Out-of-the-box fraud solutions do not work for everyone. New merchants are often confused by product hype and experienced merchants quickly become frustrated with overly simplistic anti-fraud tools because there is no panacea, there is no quick fix to the problem.

NSP are professionals, don’t try this at home. The wrong combination of ineffective tools and procedures can be expensive and painful.

High-Risk Processing Solutions


Premier Service for Challenging Merchant Categories

The Network Systems Plus team expedites the process of searching for high-risk merchant accounts and ensures long term success by placing clients into carefully selected relationships with acquiring partners where NSP maintains well-established strategic partnerships to support high-risk merchants. Some examples of these categories include:


Common Industry Challenges

Declined Business Types - most major banks are not setup to manage high-risk merchants and are simply unwilling to assume any liability for unfamiliar clients.

Excessive Fees and Reserves - if you are working through a broker who is working through a friend to get you a good deal…expect to get taken.

Sketchy Offshore Processors, Disreputable Characters - executing a contract with a company located in a third-world country, getting setup with a one office “processor in the Islands” or doing businesses with companies located in places that do not have daily flights are usually not good places to put your money. If your “processor” is not a bank, anticipate inevitable problems collecting your deposits.

Bank or Portfolio Shutdown – it happens all too often. Aggressive high-risk processors that do not abide by card association rules, get shutdown. Avoid companies advertising the ability to process business types prohibited by the card associations as these processors will commonly lose their processing capabilities and…your money.


Solutions for NSP Clients

Quick Start-Ups, Economy of Scale – smaller merchants can gain large company features with sub-account sponsorship under well-established and reputable PSP brands

Competitive Rates - an extensive range of options for the ideal placement with the appropriate acquiring partner

Proprietary Fraud Control Systems - designed for high-risk clients

Multi-Currency Billing, Multi-Currency Settlement – bill any customer, anywhere

E-Commerce Observations

Underwriting – bank application processors are not always up-to-date on disruptive technologies so it might not be easy getting your multi-million dollar startup approved

A Global Presence - attracts new customers and the international criminals living nearby

Fraud Control - there is never too much of a good thing when people are stealing your products and unloading them below cost on auction websites

Foreign Customers - prefer to pay in local currencies, unfortunately so do most processors

Gateway Limitations - only become apparent after the integration project is complete so choose the right technology partner early

Mission-Critical Processing - skimp now, learn what it means, pay much more later
