LoyalPay is a prepaid, stored-value card solution. It allows retailers to combat rising credit card transaction fees. It also offers retailers the opportunity to sell and support their own branded prepaid card service. Instead of paying outside network transaction fees to support branded stored-value card, retailers can process transactions directly through their own system. With LoyalPay, transactions are processed in-house, eliminating interchange or transactions fees that would have incurred by going to an outside provider. Self-hosting also allows for storing and accounting card activity and current card balance.
LoyalDebit adds payment capability to traditional, nonpayment loyalty cards. Once the LoyalDebit solution is deployed, consumers can register their driver's license or loyalty card with their bank account and then use that nonpayment card as a dual-purpose debit card for payment. To further ensure security, the customer registers the card via a secure website and is assigned a unique PIN. The customer can then present the loyalty card at the time of purchase and the transaction is handled as if it were a standard credit or debit card purchase. LoyalDebit is added convenience to customers, eliminating the need for them to present multiple cards to complete a single transaction.
All of Pinnacle's loyalty solutions are built on a common databases and architecture designed to work in conjunction with one another or as a standalone solutions.
