(“Newtek”) (Nasdaq: NEWT), an internally managed business development company (“BDC”), today announced that during the third quarter of 2019 it acquired a 51% interest in POS on Cloud d/b/a Newtek Payment Systems, a Kentucky-based limited liability company.

The POS provides seamless operations that are hardware agnostic and offer affordable, professional tools for businesses of any size. POS on Cloud has been co-branded Newtek Payment Systems and will be white labeled for Newtek’s alliance partners so they will be able to offer POS payment systems to their clients including credit unions, banking institutions, trade associations and investment banking clientele. POS on Cloud can process payments, integrate with ecommerce, integrate with general leger accounting software, and will include the Newtek Payroll Solutions payroll product to provide payroll solutions, workman’s compensation, health insurance, and a window into 401K.

We will give our partners a branded opportunity to control the depository relationship regarding payroll, card-present and non-present business accounts, while we provide the software and the solution to handle multiple business functions for our business partner clientele. Newtek’s portfolio company Newtek Merchant Solutions will also offer this POS directly to its customer base as well as through an ISO channel specifically branded for independent sales agents of the company. In today’s payment processing world, if you are not providing the technological solutions for card-present, ecommerce or mobile, you will most likely be disintermediated out of the business.”About Newtek Business Services Corp.
