I remember when Dean and I started our business nearly 15 years ago. The credit card processing industry was confusing then and it is even more so now! -Qualified-Non-Qualified-PCI-ACH-Batch Fee-Mimimums-Chargebacks…the list could go on and on! We thought you might appreciate a short list of the TOP 5 THINGS TO DO WHEN LOOKING FOR A MERCHANT ACCOUNT. Feel free to review the list and share it with those who are struggling to find a solid company in what can sometimes appear to be a sea of Crooks!

Our hearts and prayers go out to the people of Japan as they deal with the 8.9 Earthquake and subsequent aftershocks. We watched the first Tsunami and have heard that many other areas are under watches and warnings as the water makes the journey across the ocean. Hawaii was just placed under a warning which means they are expecting high water resulting from the earthquake and we just learned that there are now watches on both the Oregon & Washington coasts. It is in times like these that we should all hit the floor and give thanks for our many blessings!
