The CSDA's endorsement serves as a testament to the leadership position that Singular Payments has established within the dental community, specifically as it relates to delivering best-in-class payment solutions featuring a 'One Flat Rate' program backed by Singular's one-of-a-kind Savings Guarantee. These critical components enable dental practices and dental labs with the ability to more effectively manage and reduce their costs of electronic payment acceptance, while improving productivity and efficiency through a simple, easy to understand, merchant statement.

"Singular Payments' successful track record for providing extraordinarily simple and straightforward payment processing solutions to dental professionals all across the country is what ultimately swayed the decision in their favor," said Jesse Dennehy, Manager of Membership and Professional Services for the CSDA. "Our committee had to make a very difficult decision, and after careful evaluation, elected to move forward in partnership with Singular Payments."

As the costs and complexity of electronic payment acceptance continue to pervade the merchant community as a whole, the importance of being able to consistently deliver simplicity and savings is Singular Payments' mission.

Commenting on the announcement, Vaden Landers, Chairman & Managing Partner of Singular Payments said, "We are honored to receive this endorsement from the Connecticut State Dental Association, and look forward to providing a very critical business service to member professionals within the state of Connecticut." Landers went on to say,  "Having a substantial customer base that is comprised of dentists, veterinarians and other healthcare professionals, we recognize the importance of offering a secure, seamless and cost effective method through which electronic payments can be accepted for payments made in-person at the time treatment is being rendered, or on balances that become due after a patient has left the office."

The CSDA expects to roll out the Singular Payments program to CSDA members within the next several weeks and looks forward to continuing to provide its members with the best resources for their practices. In addition to being the preferred provider for the CSDA, Singular Payments will also provide educational opportunities throughout the year on subjects related to payments processing, PCI DSS compliance, Affordable Care Act reporting and regulations, and other relevant topics.

"Our commitment to our customers extends beyond promising to save them money," Landers added. "Keeping the CSDA members educated on topics that are central to payments processing is an extension of this commitment, and we look forward to assisting the CSDA in its mission to support the professional success of its members as they endeavor to provide an exceptional level of care to their patients."
