Input 1 expands payments partnership with Cypress Premium Funding

Input 1  has expanded its longstanding relationship with Cypress Premium Funding through an integrated payments partnership announced January 13.

Cypress, a Southern California–based premium finance company, has adopted Input 1 Payments to replace its existing credit card processor, bringing payment processing directly into its existing Input 1 SaaS environment. Cypress has been an Input 1 client for years and already uses the company’s PBS platform to support its premium finance operations.

By moving payments into the same system, Cypress can now support both one-time and recurring credit card payments through a single workflow. The setup is designed to reduce manual steps, improve consistency across operations, and maintain PCI DSS Level 1 compliance.

The integrated payments capability supports credit cards as well as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal, allowing Cypress to offer more flexible payment options while keeping payment activity embedded within its core premium finance platform.

For Input 1, the expanded partnership reflects a broader push to consolidate billing, finance, and payments into a single operational stack for premium finance companies and agencies, rather than relying on separate third-party processors.
