Announcing ORCA & Alt-Pay Partnership

Mon, 11 Aug 2025 19:15:56 GMT

A new, and innovative way to fund ORCA's efforts!

We are thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership between the Oklahoma Roofing Contractors Association and Alt Pay , an OKC-based cutting-edge merchant services solution. This is a program that has been designed exclusively for ORCA members. Alt-Pay specializes in "high risk" industry transactions their competitors won't, such as roofing and construction.

This innovative program transforms the routine credit card and ACH fees you already pay into a meaningful contribution that directly supports ORCA's mission. Every transaction processed through Alt Pay will automatically allocate a portion of those standard fees back to the association, funding advocacy efforts, educational programs, and industry resources without any additional cost to your business. By switching to Alt Pay, ORCA members gain access to competitive rates, seamless integration with existing systems, and robust security features, all while strengthening our collective voice in the roofing community.

"THIS IS A FANTASTIC AND INNOVATIVE WAY FOR ORCA MEMBERS TO CONTRIBUTE ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO THE ASSOCIATION WITHOUT ANY ADDED COSTS TO THEIR BUSINESS ! OUR MEMBERS ARE PAYING THESE FEES ANYWAY, WHY NOT RE-DIRECT THOSE FEES TO A CAUSE THAT BENEFITS THEM?" - Avery Smith, ORCA Executive Director

This partnership empowers your company to operate more efficiently and gives back to the association that fights for your interests—turning everyday payments into investments in ORCA's future. Contact Alt Pay today to enroll and start contributing effortlessly with every swipe, tap, or transfer. The bottom line, get paid quicker while supporting the ORCA mission!
