(FTNI) offers a single interface electronic transaction solution for multiple financial transactions and accounting which can reduce costs for your clients. These days, saving money wherever possible is a must for a successful bottom line, and FTNI can help.

FTNI offers ACH software, credit card software, banking software and check processing software so you can offer ACH payment solutions, credit card solutions, bank solutions as well as check processing solutions. The FTNI proprietary financial processing platform allows all financial transactions to move through a single interface, with no need for separate silos for accounts receivable and customer service or split processing systems for every type of financial transaction.

Credit Card Payment System

Among many products, the FTNI’s ePayment platform can offer credit card solutions by reducing credit card processing fees by capturing the necessary information to qualify for lower level two and level three credit processing rates. The FTNI platform eliminates the need for multiple disparate credit card processing software solutions for each section of the company so your call center and your accounting department can use the same interface. The system pulls all the processes together so everything works together. Using the interface, all payments are electronically sent to the correct destination, supplying the needed interface between the credit card company, the ACH, and your accounting department, reducing many man hours entering and re&#45;entering information in the system.

Software&#45;as&#45;a&#45;service

Software&#45;as&#45;a&#45;service (Saas) is one of the newer ways to deliver electronic transaction solutions. The software application actually runs through FTNI’s PCI, SAS70 and HIPAA compliant secure data center. There is no need for hardware and software upgrades, maintenance and service. The entire process and custom setup comes from FTNI. There’s also no need to change your current system. The platform works with whatever your current systems are for bank solutions. The SaaS system allows for a low setup fee and easy download, setup and installation. Most training is web&#45;based.

Multiple Payment Types, One payment interface

It doesn’t matter how your clients pay, FTNI handles all kinds of payments. Credit Card payments, EBT or check coming in by phone, internet, mail, or even in person can be processed through FTNI’s proprietary interface, safely and securely, allowing you to eliminate silos, multiple billing interfaces and accounting systems. 

Data retrieval

As a result of technology like this, data retrieval for transactions is easier and less expensive when all transactions go through FTNI. The user interface has a strong search feature that allows easy and quick access to all your client payment information, no matter by which venue it arrived, by batch or real&#45;time entry. By interconnecting payment and accounting, costly errors as well as time spent sorting through the available data are greatly reduced.

The check scanning software section of the interface also offers opportunities for cost savings. Check scanning populates custom information for your database, allowing reduction of manual accounting entry and freeing up staff time. The check processing software and remote deposit capture interfaces seamlessly with the Automated Clearing House (ACH) solutions, verifying funds and allowing for quick and easy accounting updates.

FTNI offers electronic transaction solutions, bank solutions, ACH solutions and credit card solutions, reducing costs by streamlining financial systems and freeing up hours your team could be spending with valuable clients.</description>

      <description>Financial Transmission Network, Inc (FTNI) has electronic transaction solutions for you.  In the current financial world, streamlining functions and reducing costs are becoming an essential part of the landscape.Financial Transmission Network, Inc (FTNI) has electronic transaction solutions for you.  In the current financial world, streamlining functions and reducing costs are becoming an essential part of the landscape. Even though electronic transaction systems allow for the near&#45;instant transfer of funds through the net, the road to this state of affairs has been long, in business terms, and the methods of processing and reporting financial transactions have developed without much thought of convergence. According to a recent article by Cygnus Supply and Demand Chain, “Paper checks still account for nearly three&#45;quarters of the $36 Trillion in B2B payments.” Processing this money, and the money that comes through credit card and EBT payments as well as the verification of payment through ACH can be a daunting and time consuming process. FTNI, however, has ACH payment solutions, credit card solutions and bank solutions to cut through the grid and streamline the entire financial transaction process.

Overwhelmed By Silos

Understanding the reporting process is a key part of changing the way you do business. Under normal circumstances, the processing and reporting of financial transactions are divided up, administered, and reported in payment silos. Every time a financial institution creates a financial product, they create its own silo to go with it. Silos are divided up by according to each financial institution and may be divided as each institution sees fit, by channel (international, domestic), by value, or by customer type (such as retail or institutional). This, however, creates a real problem because more often than not, each of the silos requires special banking software and banking applications to interact or verify transactions. With so many financial institutions offering so many products, the processes for any company to deal with the various silos is nothing short of frustrating.

Changing the Picture

FTNI, however, has a solution that’s destined to shift this model forever. They’ve developed a banking application to provide a true bank solution to this problem. The FTNI proprietary interface works past silos by using a single user interface for all transactions. Credit card software, check processing software, ACH software and banking software all work together on a SaaS (Software as a Service) system that runs in FTNI’s secure data center, compliant with PCI, SAS70 and HIPAA.

The advantage of this change is readily apparent. Now, different branches of any financial institutions or businesses will all be able to use the same software for the different financial processes of their company whether for processing and verifying of moneys paid or for the recording and easy access of financial records. 

FTNI’s interface is a comprehensive mix of electronic transaction systems. Check processing software is built in, with time saving check scanning software in the mix, able to populate electronic information forms set up to customer specification. The system interfaces flawlessly with the Automated Clearing House (ACH) payment system for ACH payment solutions. Credit card processing software is also built in and remote deposit capture is also available.

The FTNI system amends the overwhelming problem that was created by the silo system itself. The electronic transactions solutions available work like a seamless thread, taking the financial transactions coming in by phone, mail or electronically through the interface, processing them according to their form and logging them instantly in the database. It’s a new way to do business, and it may change the way you look at accounting forever.</description>
