BHMI Enhances the Concourse Financial Software Suite® to Support the Illinois Interchange Fee Prohibition Act (IFPA)
OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BHMI, a leading provider of back-office payment solutions, today announced that its Concourse Financial Software Suite has been updated to support compliance with the Illinois Interchange Fee Prohibition Act (IFPA).
The IFPA, enacted in June 2024 and set to take effect on July 1, 2025, prohibits payment card networks, issuers, acquirer banks, and processors from assessing or receiving interchange fees on portions of electronic payment transactions that represent state or local taxes and gratuities.
Under the new law, merchants must communicate tax and gratuity amounts either at the time of authorization or settlement, or through a post-transaction rebate process, which allows up to 180 days for submission of the relevant data.
In support of the IFPA, Concourse's configurable rules engine identifies the applicable portions of a transaction so that Concourse clients can configure their fee and settlement rules to incorporate the new law's requirements to exclude the application of interchange fees when not allowed.
'This is a great example of why Concourse is recognized as one of the most flexible back-office payment solutions on the market,' said Lynne Baldwin, President of BHMI. 'Thanks to our powerful, configurable rules engine, Concourse is purpose-built to adapt quickly to new regulatory mandates and evolving industry requirements.'

General Mills' Progresso Soup Drops Campaign Wins Gold and Silver Lions at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity
CANNES, France & MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Progresso TM Soup Drops – the first ever 'soup you can suck on' – continued to dominate the cold and flu conversation this week, earning a Gold Lion for PR and Silver Lion for Brand Experience & Activation at the 2025 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. While most folks flock to the cough drop aisle at the first sign of a cold, this past January, Progresso said, 'Hold my spoon!' and moved out of the soup aisle to offer the classic, hearty flavor of Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup in a SOUPrising new format. The savory, hard candy drops were available only during National Soup Month – the height of cold and flu season – to remind consumers of the comfort found in a bowl of Progresso Soup. And fans loved the creative approach, selling out the limited-edition drops in just minutes and generating more than two weeks of conversation across social media and from morning shows to late night talk shows. 'At General Mills, we're focused on building iconic brands with bold, culturally relevant ideas,' said Doug Martin, chief marketing officer for General Mills. 'Progresso Soup Drops were the spark of joy fans were looking for during cold and flu season, and while their response certainly showed we got it right, to be recognized among the top 1% of creative campaigns globally is an incredible honor.' In addition to the Gold and Silver Lions, Progresso Soup Drops was shortlisted across the Creative Strategy, Direct, PR and Brand Experience & Activation categories. In partnership with an agency roster led by Edelman, alongside Knechtel Inc., Yaniv Consulting, The Social Lights and Promotion Management Center across product development, paid influencer and website development, Soup Drops and Progresso dominated sick season this year. The cheeky drops were conversation-drivers and attention-grabbers that served as an entry point to the Progresso Soup portfolio, driving an increase in top-of-mind awareness, brand association and ultimately sales for the brand.
