  • We never distributed coupons before, what will Mandlik & Rhodes do for us?

  • What is the single most important thing to consider when selecting a processing agent?

    The most important thing is that the retailers must be paid on time and the processor should provide real time Web based information for you to verify that retailers are paid.

If you send us the funds on time, we disburse payments to your retailer customers right away.

All of our manufacturer clients who have switched processors experienced a seamless transition.
