WHY the Smiley? Lots of people ask us “What in the heck does a SMILEY FACE have to do with Credit Card Processing and why does everything TMC does, have a Smiley attached to it?”- we love the question and here is the simple answer. MOST business owners do not find JOY in working with their credit card processor- in fact, quite the opposite! So when we decided to take care of businesses and their processing needs, we knew we had to be different. The SMILEY FACE sends a certain message: We are glad to see you, hear you, work with you and to be of service. We CARE about you and we will do everything we can to put a smile on your face. Credit card processing is one of the products we provide but Taking Care of People and delivering a SMILE WORTHY experience is who we are and WHY we do what we do.

We Are In This Together!

Here is what we have learned over the years. Every Business Has The Same Basic Elements: No matter how different businesses are, they all have the same basic elements. Sales, Cost of Goods Sold, Employees, Vendors, etc. No matter what challenges you face it is a safe bet that others have gone through the same challenges. Knowing that all businesses are connected can give us a sense of not being alone- no matter how arduous things may seem. The beauty in realizing this truth

Understanding Interchange

The pricing in the credit card processing world is complicated! So many terms and fees are bandied about that it is no wonder business owners are fed up with all things related to Merchant Services!
