Power better payments, build better experiences

More payments, less pain points

Our platform tackles the challenges that frustrate your customers most. By addressing these pain points proactively, we help reduce friction, improve satisfaction, and minimize the support burden on your team.

Make sure the numbers match

Customers often struggle to reconcile their sales with their bank activity, leading to confusion and frustration. Forward’s industry-leading reconciliation tools provide full transparency.

• Automatically explain each sale and payout in context.
• Reconcile to the penny for complete accuracy.
• Offer customizable settlement windows to fit unique needs.

Say goodbye to missing funds

Nothing frustrates customers more than delayed payouts. Forward prevents surprises by proactively flagging risk holds and keeping everyone informed.

• Proactive alerts before payout delays happen.
• Clear, real-time updates on payout status.
• Same-day resolutions to release funds wherever possible.

Increased approval rates

Customers are often held up during the onboarding process due to risk and underwriting delays, preventing them from accepting payments. Forward streamlines the onboarding experience with custom auto-approval flows.

• Tailored approvals based on your software platform’s unique requirements.
• Seamless and frictionless onboarding for faster go-live times.
• Enhanced auto-approvals over time with AI/ML.

Simplify dispute resolution

When customers face chargebacks or disputes, it disrupts their operations and places the burden on them to prove they provided the product or service. Forward’s white-label merchant portal simplifies dispute resolution.

• Tools to track and manage disputes quickly and effectively.
• Step-by-step guidance for winning contested charges.
• Real-time updates on dispute status, reducing uncertainty.
