ARC Pay Hub provides the opportunity to take advantage of the new $75,000 transaction limit and other features around user access and management.

8:10 Discover ARC Pay GDS product highlights and top roadmap enhancements, including how ARC-accredited individuals can access ARC Pay through their GDS, providing a seamless solution. Watch to learn about transactions made through the GDS that are automatically loaded into the back office and settled directly with ARC, how users can access UATP and take advantage of the new $75,000 transaction limit and more related topics.

9:40 Joseph presents ARC Pay product offerings and highlights key roadmap improvements made possible through our partnerships with Uplift and Grasp Technologies.

10:50 Joseph introduces Alex to discuss the various benefits of using ARC Pay API, Hub and GDS across different agency verticals.

Find out how agencies of all kinds appreciate ARC Pay for its convenience as a one-stop solution.

16:51 Alex introduces Sharri to cover ARC Pay Operations, including chargeback resolution and recovery, customer service and assisting ARC’s risk management team with potential fraud. She also discusses operational best practices and efficiencies for agents.
