Visit Credit Card Payment Services

Credit Card Payment Services is headquartered in Alberta, Canada.

This company is a merchant account provider that primarily works with high-risk merchants.

Credit Card Payment Services may be functioning more like a referral service than as a full-featured merchant services provider.

Credit Card Payment Services Overview

 

Credit Card Payment Services is a merchant account provider that has been around since 2009, although the exact year it was founded is not clear. The company is located in Alberta, Canada and it is possible that someone named Nishad Rahman acts as a company representative, according to some online forums.

Credit Card Payment Services has professional relationships with several acquiring banks, including BMO Harris Bank and Wells Fargo. But the language on the company website makes it unclear if this company is offering merchant accounts or if it serves as more of a referral service for its partners.

This company works with mostly high-risk merchants and claims to use its multiple partnerships to be able to find the best rates for each one.

Credit Card Payment Services Products & Services

 

Hardware & Software

The Credit Card Payment Services website does not make mention of POS systems, credit card terminals, mobile card readers, or other types of hardware. However, the site does mention virtual terminals. It can be assumed that this company only specializes in that particular type of payment processing.

The website is not clear about what companies it works with to provide virtual terminals. It is probable that its partner banks provide this service.

Credit Card Payment Services does not offer any additional value-added services to its merchant customers.

Credit Card Payment Services Advertising & Sales

 
It appears that Credit Card Payment Services markets its services through referrals and traditional advertising tactics. It is not clear if this company has an inside sales team, of if it works with independent sales agents. The company seems to be rather small and any contracts are signed between the merchant and the acquiring bank that offers its merchant account.

There is no deceptive or unethical language on the company’s website regarding sales. Although its role is somewhat murky based on the information that is available. Fortunately, there are no online complaints about Credit Card Payment Services, but that might be because they are directed to the acquiring bank.
