VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PayVida Solutions Inc. (“ PayVida ” or the “ Company ”) - a Vancouver-based global payment processor and card issuer, is pleased to announce that it has become the exclusive partner and preferred vendor for British Columbia’s Alliance of Beverage Licensees (“ABLE BC”).

ABLE BC is the united voice of British Columbia’s private liquor industry. Its members include private liquor stores, pubs, bars, nightclubs and hotel liquor licensees. With over 1,000 members, it is a powerful advocate for the private liquor industry.

“ABLE BC selected PayVida over other merchant service providers because of our instant application approval process and innovative payment technology,” stated Altaf Ebrahim – PayVida’s Enterprise Relationship Manager. “We anticipate reducing transaction costs for ABLE BC’s members, while helping the Association acquire new members.”

PayVida’s partnership with ABLE BC creates a direct channel into a network of BC’s private hotels and pubs.  ABLE BC’s Executive Director Jeff Guignard recently completed a 10,000-kilometre, 20 city, 250 liquor licensee tour of BC.  Discussions included recent and pending changes to BC’s liquor policies and the emerging licensing framework for cannabis retail stores.

“PayVida is more than a payment processing company,” stated Guignard, “This is an opportunity for us to collaborate with an innovative financial technology company, giving our members point-of-sale integrations and same day funding.”

B.C. currently has 670 private liquor stores and 195 government locations, generating over $3 billion of alcohol sales and several billion dollars of indirect economic activity.

PayVida's innovative technology is designed with flexibility in mind, and allows users to turn their computers into payment processing terminals with its web-based payment processing software and simple invoicing system that automates payment collection and processing.

At PayVida, innovation is founded on the core belief that getting paid should be the easiest part of running a business, not the hardest.
