adumo, a leading South African payment solutions provider, has just launched its Indirect Partner Programme, a strategic move set to redefine the fintech space.

This initiative aims to empower businesses by simplifying complex payment processes, encouraging industry collaboration and expertise, and opening new revenue streams.

The payment landscape is evolving at breakneck speed, presenting businesses with a complex web of challenges. Merchants now face the daunting task of keeping pace with a multitude of payment methods, from contactless cards to digital wallets and beyond. This diversity, while beneficial for consumers, often leaves businesses struggling to manage an increasingly intricate technological infrastructure. Compounding these issues are the ever-tightening security and compliance requirements, which demand constant vigilance and expertise.

The adumo Partner Programme aims to tackle these issues head-on, offering a unified solution that simplifies the payment process from end to end.

"We've listened closely to our customers and partners, and we understand the complexities they face in managing payments in today's fast-paced business environment," said Tom Morrison, COO at adumo. "Our Partner Programme is not just about processing transactions; it's about providing a comprehensive ecosystem that simplifies operations, enhances financial control, and supports business growth."

Key Programme Features and Benefits

The adumo Partner Programme stands out with several key features designed to address common payment pain points:

• Seamless Integration: Partners can offer an all-in-one solution that integrates with over 80 point-of-sale software systems. This integration streamlines operations and eliminates the need for multiple backup devices, reducing complexity and potential points of failure.
• Scalability and Simplicity: The programme's innovative architecture allows for up to 50% less payment infrastructure compared to traditional solutions. This simplifies deployment and makes scaling effortless, enabling businesses to grow without the usual technological hurdles.
• Comprehensive Compliance: In a significant move to reduce regulatory burden, Adumo manages PCI compliance on behalf of merchants. This feature allows businesses to focus on their core operations without worrying about complex compliance issues.
• Enhanced Financial Visibility: Advanced reconciliation and exception management services provide businesses with unprecedented financial oversight. This level of detail allows for better decision-making and financial control.
• Dedicated Support: Partners benefit from adumo's always-on support and smart remote management tools. This approach minimises the need for on-site interventions, reducing downtime and ensuring smooth operations.

The programme also offers significant financial incentives and support. Partners can benefit from revenue sharing of up to 50% on software sales and 40% on SaaS sales. Additional benefits include distribution of pre-qualified sales leads, access to a dedicated WhatsApp support group, and opportunities for additional revenue through value-added services.

Beyond traditional payment processing, this collaborative community opens doors for growth and innovation. adumo partners can expand their offerings with add-on services such as alternative payment methods, gifting, and loyalty programmes. This expansion provides merchants with new avenues for revenue generation and enhanced customer engagement.

"This initiative represents a significant step forward in our mission to simplify and enhance the payment ecosystem,” added Morrison. "We're creating a network of likeminded businesses that can adapt quickly to market changes and emerging technologies. Our goal is to give our partners the tools and support they need to help stay competitive in today's fast-changing business environment.”

adumo is committed to continuous investment in the programme's development, with plans to expand features based on partner and merchant feedback. This adaptive approach ensures the programme remains at the forefront of payment innovation, ready to meet the evolving needs of businesses and consumers alike.
