5 terms

ach financial

"produce more than $125 billion of card and ACH volume, will have access"

ACH (Automated Clearing House) is an electronic network banks use to move money between accounts, like a digital mail carrier that delivers payroll, dividends, bill payments and other transfers. Investors care because ACH affects how quickly a company can pay shareholders, collect revenue or move cash for operations; slower or disrupted ACH flows can change available cash, timing of dividends and short-term liquidity assumptions.

embedded business and financial solutions financial

"menu of embedded business and financial solutions offered to its more"

Embedded business and financial solutions are software tools and services built directly into a company’s products or platforms to handle tasks like payments, lending, invoicing, analytics or payroll without forcing customers to leave the service. Think of it as a shop that not only sells a tool but also offers the checkout, financing and receipts all inside the same app. For investors, these capabilities can boost customer retention, create recurring revenue streams and widen profit margins by turning a one-time sale into ongoing services.

amortization schedule financial

"loans from $5 thousand to $15 million and NewtekOne’s signature 10 to 25-year amortization schedule"

A schedule that lays out each planned payment on a loan or debt over its life, showing how much of each payment reduces the original amount owed and how much pays the borrowing cost. Investors use it like a repayment roadmap to see when cash will be required, how quickly debt will shrink, and how interest costs affect a company’s future cash flow and profitability — important for valuing a business or assessing financial risk.

depository solutions financial

"Payroc’s merchants will also be offered depository solutions such as the Newtek"

Services and systems that provide secure storage, record-keeping and transaction handling for securities, cash and other financial assets, often including electronic custody, settlement and reporting. Think of it as a bank’s safe-deposit box plus its ledger and clerk all in one: it keeps ownership records accurate, moves assets when trades happen, and produces statements. Reliable depository solutions reduce the risk of lost assets, settlement delays or accounting errors, which directly affects investor trust and liquidity.

balloon payments financial

"10 to 25 years and without risk of balloon payments. On top of getting"

A balloon payment is a large, single lump-sum repayment due at the end of a loan after a series of smaller periodic payments. Think of it like paying mostly interest or small installments for years and then facing one big bill at the finish; for investors, balloon payments matter because they create refinancing and default risk, can change expected cash flows, and affect the value and creditworthiness of debt and companies that must make that large final payout.

After a thorough process of evaluating potential partners, Payroc selected NewtekOne as its strategic banking solutions partner for merchants on the Payroc platform. Payroc’s merchants, which, in aggregate, produce more than $125 billion of card and ACH volume, will have access to NewtekOne’s financing solutions with loans from $5 thousand to $15 million and NewtekOne’s signature 10 to 25-year amortization schedule; those financing solutions include the Newtek Seven Day Business Loan™ and the Newtek Triple Play™. Payroc’s merchants will also be offered depository solutions such as the Newtek Zero-Fee Business Banking^® account, which includes a business checking account paying 1%, a business savings account with a 3.50% rate, and a Visa-branded Newtek Bank debit card. In addition, Payroc’s alliance with NewtekOne will give merchants on the Payroc platform real-time payroll functionality (giving businesses the ability to execute same day payroll) and a complete set of commercial insurance products for those merchants to mitigate risk.

Commenting on the new alliance, Barry Sloane, Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman, of NewtekOne, said, “We are thrilled to partner with Payroc and are excited that Payroc’s network now has access to what we believe to be best-in-class solutions that NewtekOne offers, including the Newtek Advantage^®. In Payroc’s process to identify a preferred embedded finance partner, we demonstrated to the Payroc team that NewtekOne could offer its clients the ability to move money in real time with wire capability and same-day payroll, superior transactional capabilities, data and analytics, as well as attractively priced and structured loans. We refer to our loans as ‘adult’ loans with amortization periods of 10 to 25 years and without risk of balloon payments. On top of getting access to NewtekOne’s menu of solutions, we provide complete transparency to Payroc’s management team and its own set of alliance partners via our internally developed NewTracker^® processing system, which tracks referrals from application to close, ensuring Payroc’s clients receive the highest level of customer service.”

James Oberman, Payroc’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Payroc has always been committed to being more than a payment processor. We're strategic partners to the businesses we serve, and our alliance with NewtekOne is a natural extension of that commitment. By embedding best-in-class banking, lending, and insurance solutions directly into the Payroc platform, we're removing friction and creating real, measurable value for our merchants across North America and beyond.”
