Evolv Merchant Processing

Approval Payment Solutions (APS) Announces Rebrand

Aug 03, 2021

[Evansville, IN. June 30, 2021]: Approval Payment Solutions (APS), a top 40 US credit card processing company, just announced its rebrand. Moving forward, the company will operate as Evolv which better represents its divisions, partners, and suite of products and services.

 

Founded in 1998, Evolv started as a credit card processing sales office registered with NPC. Fast forward two decades, and Evolv has grown into a multi-processor sales office, with more than 130 financial institution partnerships and association endorsements, including FIS Community Bank Program.


In 2017, Evolv expanded its facility and enhanced its resources to provide a stronger relationship to its partners and merchants, adding a digital marketing offering and introducing a Shared Services Program. The Shared Service Program has allowed Evolv to centralize administrative functions of many offices across the United States, which have come together to streamline, not only their operations, but merchant onboarding, equipment deployment, support, buying power, and so much more.


Since its inception, Evolv has been dedicated to the support of referral partners and banks, merchants, and its vastly growing sales channel. For that reason, Evolv is staffed by relationship advocates, partner development managers, both internal and external sales agents, a deployment team, an operation team, a lead generation team, an accounting team, and a marketing team. These groups work together to support their growing network of referral partners, merchants, and agents.


Evolv can provide customers with various solutions, including cash discounting, point-of-sale systems, smart terminals and other payment processing equipment, qualified level II and level III processing rates, ecommerce and website development solutions, and other digital marketing services.


“What I love about Evolv is it perfectly describes this company,” said Chief Development Officer, John Johnson. “What was once a simple sales office has transformed into something much more complex as we’ve grown and changed with the industries we serve. We’re able to offer our partners, agents, and merchants what they need with a level of customer service they can trust.”


“What sets Evolv apart from other companies in our industry is the unique service offering of payment processing and digital marketing. We’re a one-stop-shop for many merchants,” said Chief Executive Officer, Allan Noe. “For our bank partners and agents, that’s huge. We can offer their merchants more and help them increase their sales, decrease their costs, and mitigate their risk.”


Evolv maintains over 16,000 merchants, processes more than $5 billion in annual transactions, and secured nearly a dozen acquisitions in less than three years. Evolv supports more than 20 regional and independent sales offices nationwide.
