PaymentSpring (previously NTS) has been the processing support along the way. Today, we are a developer-driven payments company enabling partners in all industries to offer secure, reliable payment solutions to their customers and members.
Serving thousands of education customers across the country, including K–12 institutions and higher education schools, PaymentSpring and Nelnet have a long history of tackling challenging payment complexities—including integrations and supporting specialty payment processing needs. Today, we take that knowledge and apply it across all industries in need of inspired payment solutions.
Our integrity, instincts and experience make this a certainty. We realize that long-standing relationships are built on trust and must be earned. We hold ourselves to high expectations. We are honest with each other and our clients in all we do.
What the heck is a laurel, and why would someone rest upon it? Working hard to reach a new plateau feels great. Hanging out there for too long makes us twitchy. What can we say, challenging ourselves and having a “be the change” mindset is just a part of our basic DNA. Being innovative is our favorite vice.
It’s a mix of drive, gratitude and empathy—one of those blends that leaves a positive impression without begging for the spotlight. We choose to be here for each other and our clients—in the good times and the trying ones.
