Chase Paymentech was founded in 1985 in Dallas, Texas and has offices in the United States, Canada, and Europe. The company is an international processor, but for the purposes of this article we’ll focus on services available to businesses based in the United States.

Chase Paymentech Overview

 

Based out of Dallas, Texas, Chase Paymentech (chasepaymentech.com) is one of the largest merchant account providers in the United States. Although it has operated under different business names due to various acquisitions and joint ventures, Chase Paymentech has been in existence since 1985. Chase Paymentech rebranded its global ISO operations as “Chase Commerce Solutions” in late 2015, but First American Payment Systems acquired all of Chase Commerce Solutions’s operations in January 2016. Today, Chase’s merchant services products are marketed as a branch of JPMorgan Chase, but the Chase Paymentech brand is still found on the products themselves. Chase also acquired WePay in October 2017, which could signal the next direction for the company.

Chase Paymentech has achieved some recognition as the back-end processing network for the popular mobile credit card processing app Square. The company’s headquarters can be found at 14221 Dallas Pkwy, Dallas, Texas 75254. Chase Paymentech is part of a larger platform called Chase Merchant Services, which is overseen by CEO Matt Kane.

Chase Paymentech Advertising & Sales

 
This reviewer found no uses of deceptive advertising or rate quoting by Chase Paymentech. The company appears to primarily market its services through partnered sub-ISOs and telemarketing. Interestingly, Paymentech does not appear to recruit independent outside agents directly but, instead, forwards applicants to the sub-ISOs who hire independent agents.

The use of independent agents often results in numerous merchant complaints due to a lack of direct control over their marketing and sales tactics. Since Paymentech does not hire its agents directly, it is not suffering the usual complaints that are associated with the practice. It is entirely possible that the sub-ISOs that hire these agents have the typical complaints, but there is no indication of Chase Paymentech itself being the source of any misleading marketing or tactics. In addition, the complaints that do exist are low in number and inconsistent in their content.

Chase Paymentech Pricing, Rates & Fees

 

Pricing and contract terms of Paymentech merchant accounts may vary based on several factors including a merchant’s processing needs, sales volume, and the agent or sub-ISO setting up the account. In most cases where Paymentech sets up the account directly, the company offers month-to-month contracts, no cancellation fees and no PCI compliance fees. Merchants who accept a “free terminal” may be subject to a 24-month service agreement, which is a common practice when a provider gives away equipment. The cancellation fees under the 24-month agreement may vary based on the type of equipment, so merchants are strongly encouraged to read their contracts before signing any documents.
