Merchant Services, also known as credit card processing, allows you to accept debit card and credit card payments from customers safely and securely. Merchant services can help any business, large or small, by giving your clients the convenient option of paying with a card.

What Is Merchant Services in Banking?

Merchant services refers to how electronic payments are transacted and processed by a business. Companies usually create an account that handles credit card processing, which simplifies payment options for customers. With our products, businesses can also access their money quickly.

Our Merchant Services can handle all electronic payment transactions for you. This process involves gathering sales information, securing a transaction authorization, obtaining funds from the bank issuing the credit and debit card, and sending payment to you.
