Entango
and Heartland Payment Systems Help Nonprofits Reach Millions of
Donors in Under 48 Hours
Online fundraising
solution that nonprofits take straight to the bank
SAN JOSE,
CA, March 2, 2000 --
Entango Corporation (www.entango.com)
and Heartland Payment Systems (www.visa-mc.com),
today announced a partnership to help nonprofit organizations extend
their fundraising reach to millions of consumers on the Internet.
Entango's SiteWrap technology and Heartland's credit card merchant
accounts provide the two key ingredients for secure, convenient
donations right on the nonprofit organization's website.
Entango is the leading provider of secure, risk-free, hosted online
fundraising services to nonprofit organizations in the US and Canada.
Entango's solution brings leading edge technology to the nonprofit
sector with no out-of-pocket costs, and no software to install.
Entango's unique SiteWrap technology adds a secure online donation
engine to the nonprofits website effortlessly. Each nonprofit organization
adds one or more "donate now" buttons to their site and they gain
instant access to millions of online consumers overnight.
Heartland is a full-service merchant card processor and provides
credit card processing accounts to thousands of Internet merchants.
Heartland is now the premier provider of online credit card processing
for Entango's nonprofit customers.
The Entango/Heartland online application will offer these organizations
the ability to obtain an approval in under 48 hours and in some
cases in as few as 2 hours. Heartland also provides discounted rates
for nonprofit organizations that sign up through the Entango/Heartland
website at http://www.visa-mc.com/entango.
"This is a huge leap for nonprofit fundraising. Now, for the first
time, a nonprofit can decide to add online fundraising to their
website in the morning and be taking donations that afternoon,"
says Steve Harkness, CEO of Entango, "Heartland is leading the e-commerce
revolution and this partnership is breaking new ground for our nonprofit
clients."
With Heartland Payment Systems' easy online merchant account application,
nonprofits organizations can begin to accept credit cards in as
few as 48 hours. Heartland's services include credit card and debit
card processing, check authorization and verification, software
and equipment sales, equipment leasing, and secure real time processing
solutions.
"This partnership opens the doors to this emerging market," says
John Waldron, Heartland's Vice President of Internet Marketing and
Sales, "We are very excited to take and active role in helping to
propel nonprofit organizations into the world of online donations."
