PITTSBURGH, PA March 7, 2018 – Pineapple Payments, a full-service provider of omni-channel payment processing technology solutions, today announced that it has finalized a joint venture deal with local Pittsburgh cybersecurity provider FifthWall Solutions to offer their insurance and data breach support products through Pineapple Payments. This agreement marks Pineapple Payments’ continued expansion and growth of their premium service offerings to their national customer base.
Pineapple Payments brings versatile payment enablement technology and payment concierge services to merchants of all sizes in an ever-changing payment processing landscape. Pineapple targets B2B, B2G, and Integrated Software Vendors (ISV). Pineapple Payments CEO and serial entrepreneur Brian Shanahan has invested heavily in the local Pittsburgh company FifthWall Solutions and recognizes the unique value this product brings to market.
“We understand that businesses today need solutions well beyond a credit card terminal. We provide flexible technology with fully integrated reporting capabilities to enhance customer experiences and drive new value for businesses. Cost savings is important, but security and integrated solutions are the key to securing your future in the industry,” said Shanahan.
FifthWall Solutions provides access to a range of products and services that support the education, monitoring, insurance and breach response navigation tools companies need to protect themselves and their customers in today’s landscape. Unlike other cybersecurity leaders, FifthWall Solutions provides insurance and rescue action plans to customers in addition to education and monitoring tools, therefore providing a complete roadmap to recovery for those afflicted by a data breach.
“We’re proud to partner with Brian, a visionary in the industry, who has continued to remain innovative and transformative during his 27 years in the industry. He recognizes the need to offer both an amazing product and top-notch customer service.
