AICC Partners With SFP To Save Members Money, Offer Benefits AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, has part- nered with Service First Processing (SFP) to create a new “members only program” with exclusive benefits designed to reduce credit card processing costs while improving service and support. In addition to lowering credit card processing fees, the program gives AICC participants a 10 percent rebate on the net processing revenue SFP gener- ates from their account. The AICC/ SFP program offers: • An annual 10 percent rebate on the net processing rev- enue SFP generates from their accounts. • Free loaner equipment. • Free enhanced online reporting. • A dedicated helpline for AICC members.

• 60-day trial period / 90-day pilot program for members new to credit card acceptance. The average savings for manufacturers and distributors is a 15 percent reduction in processing costs before annu- al rebates. Additionally, program participants have access to electronic payment tools such as: • Accounts Payable Automation: Manage all invoice pay- ments in an easier, more cost-effective way while re- ceiving rebates. • ACH Tools to facilitate quick ACH and E-Check Ser- vices to suit your organization’s needs. • Online Invoicing, to create custom invoices online.
