Net Element's Unified Payments Launches Sales Central On The Go to Expedite Merchant Approval and Boarding

Digital Application Provides a Streamlined, Paperless and Efficient Process for Merchant Account Approvals and Boarding Using Mobile Devices

/EINPresswire.com/ -- MIAMI, FL -- (Marketwired) -- 01/19/16 -- Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) ("Net Element" or the "Company"), a provider of global mobile payment technology solutions and value-added transactional services, today announced that its subsidiary Unified Payments has released Sales Central On The Go (www.salescentral.com), a new boarding interface for its sales partners, agents and merchants, which streamlines and automates the merchant account sign-up process, delivers real-time decisions and paperless boarding approval from online and mobile devices.

The newly-added mobile boarding capability facilitates API-driven, instant boarding to multiple payment processing platforms and provides new merchants with a modular approach for providing their personal and business information. The platform manages underwriting, risk assessment, merchant ID assignments and is compliant with banking standards such as Know Your Customer regulations.

Sales Central On The Go automates the business and identity validation processes that merchants must undergo in order to receive the necessary approvals to accept credit and debit card payments. The new boarding process minimizes human errors, provides a scalable, paperless and user friendly application process that adapts to individual merchant needs. It adjusts the scope of information and documentation required according to the processing volume of each merchant allowing sales partners and agents to upload merchant documentation and sign digitally using DocuSign electronic signature technology integration.

"With Sales Central On The Go, acquiring new merchants is easier than ever," commented Dave Chester, CEO of Unified Payments. "Sales partners and agents can now complete the on-boarding process from just about anywhere and get merchants processing immediately without completing paper applications which are typically time consuming and often result in having to come back to the merchants for additional information at a later time."
