Payments are the life blood of your organization and we’re excited to announce that in 2025 you’ll have a host of new payment tools and options — at no additional charge and with nothing required from you other than authorizing the upgrade!
In 2024 our longtime payments partner, BankCard USA, completed a merger with Preferred Payments, giving us access to Preferred's proprietary payment gateway (the platform that actually processes online payments), ECRYPT (https://ECRYPT.com). What does that mean for you? We can now deliver a wide range of commonly requested features and functionality:
Support for ACH payments;
Integrated wireless card swipers;
A far more polished payments dashboard;
Batch deposit reports (making it easy to link deposits in your account to the individual transactions included);
Recurring and installment payment options (future release)
And much more;
FAQs
How does this affect pricing? It doesn’t. The fees are exactly the same.
What do we need to do / update? Nothing, our team will handle the upgrade for you.
Will this result in downtime? No. Your current Authorize.net account will remain active until we complete the upgrade. At that point any future payments will simply route through Ecrypt.
What if I have questions? Please feel free to contact Member Splash by utilizing the support widget in your Member Splash dashboard and/or Jake Hudes at Preferred Payments at [email protected].
