Partnership offers retailers a rapid deployment, in store self-service credit solution to extend financing to more customers and increase sales.

NewComLink (NCL), a pioneer in retail financing technology solutions, and Versatile Systems Inc.(TSX Venture Exchange: VV), a leading provider of retail self-service credit solutions, today announced their strategic partnership to offer NCL’s multi-lender secondary financing platform through Versatile’s self-service credit ecosystem.

“Merchants are losing billions in sales each year,” said Tom Carter, Vice President of Partnerships at NCL. Approximately 50% of customer credit applications to retailers’ primary financing providers are declined because the primary lenders prefer individuals with higher credit scores. “Declined customers are typically embarrassed, abandon their purchase or spend less,” Carter added. Using the NCL platform on the Versatile self-service credit ecosystem, retailers offer buying power to a broader range of consumers, improve customer satisfaction and build brand loyalty.

“Retailers can access popular primary financing providers along with the NCL secondary finance platform on Versatile’s mobile, digital signage and kiosk platforms,” said Kenny Kahn, President of Versatile. “We’ve seen retailers improve their private label financing programs using our self-service solutions. Adding the NCL platform will be another big boost.” Versatile offers multiple tablet and kiosk styles to meet retailers’ requirements and manages them centrally and securely. Kahn added, “We are thrilled to give retailers a comprehensive secondary finance offering and NCL’s multi-lender platform is an ideal fit.”

Versatile self-service credit ecosystem with NCL’s multi-lender secondary financing platform are available in thousands of retail locations throughout North America. “With only marginal gains forecasted for the holiday season and continued economic uncertainty, offering self-service credit applications that include secondary financing options delivers an additional way for retailers to capture sales,” said Carter.
