Doing the right thing is never easy. The IMS Difference

MINNEAPOLIS - Nov. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- Doing the right thing is never easy.  The IMS Difference.

Integrated Merchant Solutions is changing the way startups and small businesses manage their overhead costs – one client at a time.  What makes IMS so different?  We do what we say we’re going to do.  It’s as simple as that.  At IMS, we will set up a merchant account that is as unique as you are.  We understand that this is not a one-size-fits-all solution.  While leasing a countertop terminal may be the best fit for one client, a smartphone app is all another merchant might need.  We will not sell you anything you don’t need.  We don’t make promises of unbelievable savings or “free” offers (trust me, nothing is ever free).  We will not trick you into a contract.  Now, before you start thinking that IMS is almost saintly, let me assure you that we are in this for the money.  That’s right.  We’re here to earn a living and make no apologies for that.  However, what we can also assure you of is that we are not afraid of hard work.  We expect to earn every one of our client’s business month after month – which is most certainly hard work.  Doing the right thing is never easy –it’s just the right thing to do.

IMS works one-on-one with individual clients to customize a solution guaranteeing they receive the best result for their business needs. IMS offers countertop terminals, virtual terminals, QuickBooks® integration, shopping cart integration, as well as website and payroll services.

IMS Founder’s Open Letter

“I wish to help as many small businesses as possible. Through our pricing model, our mission, and our core values, I believe that Integrated Merchant Solutions can increase our clients’ profitability and, therefore, our own. Let’s grow together.

Along with the rate savings, we also eliminate the unnecessary fees charged by our competitors. We have no monthly processing minimums, no annual fees, and no batch fees.

At IMS, our mission is to help small business owners succeed. We will accomplish this by taking a genuine interest in our clients, understanding their objectives, and exceeding their expectations. Our focus on our core value enables us to realize our mission: Fairness, Integrity, and Commitment to Client Success.

I came into the merchant services industry to prove we can truly earn an honest living by helping business owners save money – and have stayed in business because we have continued to succeed.

Thank you for the opportunity to earn your business,

Kathryn Sutherland”
