WESTERLY, R.I., Nov. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Washington Trust has added Clover technology to its business banking solutions, giving merchants more tools to run their business and greater options for accepting credit cards and other digital payments from customers more securely. Businesses can sign up to use Clover's all-in-one business operating system, which provides products specifically designed to make financial transactions in restaurants, services, and retail settings more convenient for both merchants and customers.
Clover gives businesses more choices for how and where they can accept payments, from mobile card readers like Clover Go for on-the-go payments, to countertop systems like Clover Station Duo with dual screens for comprehensive business management. Each varies in portability and functionality, with options for features such as real-time sales report generation, inventory tracking, table management, order routing, and customer feedback. Clover technology is designed to enable PCI-compliant processing through the use of advanced encryption and fraud prevention tools.
With Clover, end consumers will be able to use almost any payment method they prefer including credit and debit cards (chip, swipe, tap), contactless mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Google Pay) and a host of online payment options.
Most Clover payments deposited into a Washington Trust business checking account will be available to those merchants as early as the next business day.

"Ned" Handy III. "We want to make it easy for our business customers to process payments and are pleased to offer Clover as part of our comprehensive suite of business banking solutions."
