CreditCardProcessing.com Overview

 

CreditCardProcessing.com is a merchant account provider that appears to have operated as either a subsidiary or an ISO ofPaysafe (formerly iPayment). An early version of the company’s homepage described it as “an iPayment company,” so it is likely that CreditCardProcessing.com exclusively offered iPayment contracts prior to its acquisition by Paysafe Group. It is unclear at this time whether CreditCardProcessing.com acts as a reseller for Paysafe or operates independently. The company also advertises Clover as a POS solution.

CreditCardProcessing.com states that it was founded in 1998 (although it’s possible that the company is simply using iPayment’s founding date) and claims to serve over 153,000 merchants. Ryan Mirpanah is listed as the most recent director of sales at CreditCardProcessing.com. The company is a registered ISO/MSP of Woodforest National Bank, The Woodlands Texas and of Compass Bank an Alabama State Chartered Bank, and is headquartered at 128 Vision Park Blvd, #300, Conroe, TX 77384.

CreditCardProcessing.com Advertising & Sales

 
CreditCardProcessing.com appears to market itself through the use of independent sales agents, traditional advertising, search engine marketing, and a referral program. The use of independent agents is typically linked to elevated complaint rates for a company (with iPayment being a prime example), and in the case of CreditCardProcessing.com, we have found a low-to-moderate number of complaints related to the sales experience. Complainants specifically mention hidden fees and higher-than-quoted rates. CreditCardProcessing.com’s relatively low sales complaint total is unexpected for a company that was at one point so closely linked to iPayment, but its complaint rate over the past two years is beginning to catch up to iPayment’s poor reputation.

We have located ads in both Google search results and on one of the company’s landing pages claiming that “rates start at 0.35%.” This rate is likely the company’s Qualified debit rate, but it makes no mention of the Mid-Qualified and Non-Qualified rates that merchants will pay on most debit and credit card transactions. We consider this type of rate quoting to be deceptive, as it could give merchants an unrealistic expectation of the rates they will pay. In fact, this type of quote seems to contradict the language on the company’s “Rates and Fees” page, which states that although “most merchants want to immediately know the exact rates and fees they will incur,” the company’s sales agents “are extremely well trained and they know that a ‘one size fits all’ approach is absolutely not in the best interest of our merchants.” For this reason, merchants are advised to not make any decisions based solely on rate quotes displayed in the company’s advertising.

CreditCardProcessing.com Pricing, Rates & Fees

 

According to merchant complaints, the standard CreditCardProcessing.com can be cancelled at any time with no early termination fee, but one merchant in the comment section of this review does report a cancellation fee of up to $350. Complainants have described many various fees through the company, including a $99 annual PCI compliance fee, a $7.95 monthly gateway fee, a $5 monthly statement fee, a variable monthly minimum fee, and a tiered pricing plan with rates that vary from merchant to merchant.

The company also provides POS solutions and gateway services on its website. However, no details regarding gateway fees or other charges associated with equipment leases are disclosed on the website. CreditCardProcessing.com does advertise its use of Clover POS systems, which carry their own terms of service. It is not clear whether the company leases these POS terminals or is a reseller of Clover’s equipment.

In addition to its storefront payment processing services, CreditCardProcessing.com also dedicates a portion of its website that advertises its virtual terminal and payment gateway services. However, pricing on either of those services is not disclosed. However, the website does state that there is no set-up fee associated with these services. Additional rates and fees, including gateway fees, technical support fees, batch fees, and additional transaction rates typically apply to these e-commerce services.
