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.

Simplify & Break It Down: The 5 Steps of Hiring

Simplify & Break It Down: The 5 Steps of Hiring

Did you know?

The way you hire impacts everything—from how your team handles service calls to how well your processing systems are managed.

 

At TMC, we’ve learned that experience matters, but it isn’t everything. The right team is built by prioritizing five key traits that set people up for success.

  1. Ability to follow instructions. This matters in every area of our work, including compliance, service, and transaction accuracy. A team that can follow instructions is easier to train and more dependable.
  2. Strong communication skills. Processing is detail-oriented, and much of our support happens over the phone. Candidates need to be able to communicate clearly and professionally to serve our merchants well.
  3. Core value alignment. We’re not just looking for skill sets—we’re looking for people who align with the way we serve: with integrity, dedication, and a genuine smile.
  4. Wired for the work. Every team member is wired differently. Using tools like DISC helps us place people in the roles where they naturally thrive.
  5. Willingness to grow. Willingness is the spark that keeps people learning, contributing, and building stronger relationships—with teammates, merchants, and referral partners.

 

When your team has these five traits, your service improves, your processing runs smoother, and your customers feel the difference. That’s why we focus on building the right team, not just filling roles.

 

If managing payroll is taking up too much time and energy, we can help with that too. Our payroll services are designed to simplify your back office so you can focus on leading a great team.

 

P.S. We care deeply about building a healthy, values-driven culture—because we believe great service starts with a great team.


We’re honored to have been named one of Inc. Magazine’s Top Workplaces in America for over five years in a row. It’s a reflection of the people-first approach we live out every day.
