CreditPipe will be positioned to directly issue and activate merchant accounts rather than utilizing the bank's application processes. The application to activation time for customers is expected to be 48 hours, as opposed to the banking industry average of three to four weeks; and in certain instances, as long as eight weeks.

In addition, marketing businesses will be far better positioned in the e-commerce and mobile commerce debit and credit card acquiring arenas, due in part to the addition of these new services, as well as, the price competitiveness of having a direct bank link rather than using intermediary switching partners.
