Retail
When you just want it to work the way you want it to work.
We’re pretty good at asking the right questions, and we’ll get you set up the right way – even when everyone else can’t get it figured out (we’ll give you $1,000.00 we can’t).
Case study: Cute independent bookstore in a swanky resort town; with bookstore software, two POS, and card swipe terminals attached to each. All seems right, right? Problem was, intermittently American Express would get declined when it would actually go through. They’d run it again and decline, but it would actually go through. Customer would have to pull out a VISA or whatever and it would work. A month later the customer, back at home after swanky vacation, would call complaining they had 2 charges on their American Express card – you get the story. This went on for years, the POS software people pointed at the card reader people who pointed at the processing network, who pointed at everyone but themselves. Finally the bookstore threw up their hands and said, “Screw it! We’re not taking American Express.” This of course didn’t sit well with their swanky clientele. – They took us up on the $1,000 challenge and we figured it out. It took a couple calls and turning the dials a bit, but now that cute little bookstore is as happy as a clam.
Things go sideways. When they do, who do you want on your team?
Test us.
You be the judge.
Restaurant
When you want a smooth-running operation.
We’ve installed terminals and POS systems in many a restaurant. There are some basic configurations, but everyone has their own little custom situations – that’s what we expect. Want two main POS, three? One in the restaurant three in the bar, two printers here, one in the kitchen, but only food orders in the kitchen and customer print-outs at the POS? Yeah, understood. Done.
And apps! We even have an app for your POS that will text your waitress when she’s late, “Hey, are you on your way?”
We speak restaurant. Tell us any scenario and we’ll understand. And when you want the next shiny thing, we’ll have it too.
Education
Tuition is easy. Except when it’s only a couple/few times a year – as tuition happens, and suddenly there’s a spike in your card processing volume and security goes off like the fourth of July and no one at your card processor speaks common sense. Or when you have a fundraising event “out of nowhere” as far as bankcard security is concerned and money is held when you need it – or whatever the situation is. Hey, our kids go to school and we process transactions for those accounts – and a heck of a lot of other schools/colleges around the country. So few people can connect the critical thinking dots that you teach your students – we connect them here in real life.
Beyond the crazy, there’s the practical, like recurring payments you’d like to set up and not worry about – we can do that and you can oversee that we’re doing it exactly according to plan – and you can get on to helping young people be the next generation of the right people we need them to be; connecting the critical thinking dots so we can hire them and they can help people like you.
Healthcare
Insurance; yeah, wow, complicated. We get it.
The rest of this needs to be easy.
We do that here.
Non-profit
Processing cards and business, and money and all that stuff aside, we support more than 1000 non-profits right now.
We also help them (and yours when you join us) grow their passive income in the same way we grow ours.
Besides all the typical things non-profits do – that now every other non-profit does and why it’s harder today to generate revenue – we show you other vantage points and suddenly you see how there’s a whole new way.
Call us, tell us what you’re doing and if we like you and your cause, we’ll help you ascend.
Automotive
You know it better that we do, but we’ve experienced it – Your industry has some interesting spins.
The local and web competition is one thing, but locally when it comes to you being able to accept WEX/Fleet/Voyager.
If you’re into oil changes, services or carwashes – or whatever your niche is, we can help you set up recurring billing to build in recurring revenue – the most sought after cash flow that few achieve – but those who figure it out .. they live better.
Yeah, we do card processing – and we can help you get sharper there and if that all we do, you’re better for it. We’re also into helping your cashflow grow in new ways. THAT we’re pretty pretty pretty good at.
Call us.
You be the judge.
Government
God bless you for the patience you have dealing with us, the general public.
We’ll set this up so you don’t have to mess with it; it will all go exactly right, you can relax and help us, the general public, with whatever our next hot mess might be.
Tell us what it needs to do and we’ll take the ball and run. We’ll connect the dots, it will work and you’ll look good.

Franchise
When you want the load off you.
When you want to have the best experience, your franchisors need to have the best experience.
This takes part of the load off you.
When you coordinate with us these “smaller pieces” of the puzzle make the big opportunity for your franchisees much bigger.
You get to achieve in your way, as they get to achieve in theirs.
Beauty
Tips and recurring services, that’s where the money is.
Your people need to make the right money and you need to provide them the right opportunities.
Accepting cards = more money, and anyone can do that for you.
Here we dive deeper to get you the most and will help you add: a) The things that are working better today b) the nuances that are why customers appreciate you.
Test us.
If we don’t make your life-STYLE better for you, we’ll hand you $1000 cash.
Self-Service
The trick here is that it actually works!
Unattended seems simple, but it’s actually the most difficult situation in card processing to make work.
– And most f***k it up and you get to deal with it.
Case study: Hundreds of unattended, self-service carwashes. People with dirty cars pull up, insert their card… and nothing happens. They can’t get in the car. It’s not going through. They can’t back out because somebody sent back of them. There’s no way after this experience I ever want to come back again in the car wash is losing business every Saturday morning.
One of our people approach them about using us, and they said, “I don’t care if you can save me money, I don’t care what it cost. I just wanted to work!”
We love these situations. The more difficult, the more meaningful, the more no-one can unlock it, the more we want to.
And we do.
And we have.
When you want flaky, shoddy, maybe it works and too many times it doesn’t, call everyone else.
You want bullet proof?
That’s when you call us.
Test us.
Hotels
Ah.. Lodging…
It seemed like such a simple business to get into.
And then you’re in it.
People book, and show – and sometimes they don’t; then what? Or it’s like a rockstar rolled in and destroyed the place. Then what?
And when you’re larger and have food, drinks, pool, food and drinks by the pool and tips for you people, so you can recruit and keep the best people.
Yeah, we have what you need.
And we can customize it to how you’ve found you want to operate.

Banking
You know it and we know it; the real money is in buying and selling money – loans.
To get more opportunities you need to offer ancillary services to get customer in the door to be able to be in position to get the loan. Checking accounts and payment processing are small pieces that add up to big opportunity for you. But without the right small pieces, you miss out on the bigger opportunities.
That’s exactly why smart independent banks love using us. The small pieces to you are the big pieces to us. We ask the right questions, provide all the right equipment, software and services that make merchants happy and successful – and that make you look good, and the cues you up you up for bigger business.
In some bank situations, we provide the ballpark, you step up and swing the bat. In others you’re already swinging a big bat and we’re making sure it all goes to plan.
Whichever you are you’ll sleep easier with us on your team.
Test us.

CBD
Big banks don’t want to be known as the dope processing bank.
Plus, there are state-to-stat laws and national banks simply don’t find this business valuable enough to run the risk of getting in trouble with state laws.
And that’s the situation.
You need someone (a payment processor who: a) isn’t desperate for you business enough to tell you everything’s ok when it’s not. b) experienced enough and with the right company structure around them to help you with the solid payment processing you need.
Call us.
Mic drop.
Gaming
This is still the wild west of card processing. Because there’s money involved some banks in the world are interested, but most have other bigger interests in other areas and gaming just isn’t it – too legally complicated for the payoff. You need to be legit and adhering to state, national and sometimes international laws. If you’re selling pull tabs in a bar in Wisconsin that also sells food, that’s one thing. But, if you’re an online casino that’s another and just not what we’re interested in spending our time on. Good luck.
International
When you’re a carwash in British Colombia, a resort in nowhere Canada or a gas station on a Caribbean Island that gets your satellite card processing connection wiped out every hurricane season or anywhere in between and looking for stability, call us. When it’s not worth anyone else’s time, we’re like the Sherlock Holmes of unlocking challenges – we do it for the challenge and the reward of knowing we did it when the others couldn’t – and we do it all the time.
