- Dedicated account manager
- Next-day funding available
Why Choose BAMS Over Adyen?
Enterprise processing without the enterprise requirements.
Adyen is a powerhouse for global enterprises. But if you're not processing millions per month, their model leaves you underserved. BAMS delivers the same caliber processing — with personalized service.
No Volume Minimums
Adyen requires high monthly volume just to open an account. BAMS has zero volume requirements — you get the same transparent interchange-plus pricing whether you're processing $10K or $10M a month.
Dedicated Account Manager
Adyen's support is self-service. BAMS assigns every merchant a dedicated account manager from day one — a real person who knows your account and picks up the phone when you call.
Next-Day Funding
Get your money faster with next-day standard funding — no waiting 2–3 business days like Adyen's default settlement cycle. Better cash flow, more stability for your business.
Free Hardware Placement
Adyen's hardware requires significant upfront investment and developer setup. BAMS provides free terminal placement for qualifying merchants — compatible with hundreds of open POS systems.
No Developer Required
Adyen's integration requires a developer team and significant technical resources. BAMS handles setup end-to-end with a white-glove onboarding process — you're up and running in days, not months.
