The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), the UK’s largest campaigning pressure group promoting the interests of small firms, has extended its partnership with Streamline, one of the UK’s leading payment providers. As a result of the partnership, the FSB will recommend Streamline’s card processing services to its membership base in excess of 200,000. The scheme provides FSB members with preferential rates for both face-to-face and online payment processing.
Streamline and the FSB have been working successfully together since 2001, providing FSB members with excellent discounts on card processing services. The new contract extends this partnership for a further three years. Exclusively recommended by the FSB, as FSB Card Payment Processing, Streamline provides a complete payment solution for small businesses, from card terminals and telephone payment services, through to online payment gateways.
Sandy Harris, Chairman of Member Services at the FSB said: “The FSB greatly appreciates the help, support and guidance that Streamline offers small businesses. We believe that Streamline is ideally equipped to support our members because of their excellent customer service and wide variety of payment solutions.”
Chris Thorne, Senior VP, SME Sales for Streamline, commented, “I am delighted that our ongoing partnership with the FSB is to continue for a further three years. The partnership is extremely important to us, as is our shared commitment towards supporting small businesses across the UK. A big part of this is providing advice and guidance for small businesses on payment processing best practice, something which can often make a huge difference to a small business’ cash flow and profitability. We are sure that this partnership can benefit all FSB members, whether they are new to taking card payments or already accept them.”
