Companies' event and travel services get software boost for electronic transactions

Organizations that use the event and travel planning services of SignUp4 will now have the security of electronic payments processed by Vanco Services behind their transactions.

The two companies announced they will be working together to integrate facets of their software when managing events, travel arrangements and financial tools for their clients. Both already are service providers for the General Council on Finance and Administration, which is the administrative arm of the United Methodist Church.

Atlanta-based SignUp4 works with more than 500 clients, including 80 companies within the Fortune 500, that use its software to process event registrations, manage travel logistics and regulate communications.

Vanco Services, a financial technology firm headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota, has 20,000 clients at both non-profits and businesses. It has been processing ACH transactions and offering other financial solutions for more than 20 years.

"The combination of our innovative event management software and the secure electronic payment processing services from Vanco will only strengthen the user experience for all of our clients," said Matt Curry, director of business development at SignUp4.

Organizations are increasingly using electronic options that include payments by ACH cards to speed up transactions.
