Contract Terms:
Initially a merchant account provider for just USA-based merchants, NXGEN Payment Services now operates internationally under the DBA - NXGEN International Payment Services.
The firm offers both online and POS-based payment solutions to merchants under contracts provided by Elavon.
NXGEN Payment Services faces a relatively low number of customer complaints and offers a variety of pricing options, which are described in further detail below.
NXGEN Payment Services is a merchant account provider that was founded in 2002 by Thomas Nitopi, who still acts as the firm’s CEO today.
NXGEN initially only offered service to merchants residing in the U.S.A but the firm later launched a joint venture to operate in Canada under the DBA NXGEN Canada. This partnership is no longer active and NXGEN USA instead now operates internationally under the DBA - NXG International Payment Services.
The firm is headquartered in Whitefish, Montana, and is a registered ISO/MSP of Elavon and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in Concord, California.
NXGEN advertises itself as “The global leader in payment solutions” and has achieved the following milestones to support that claim:

Statement Fee
A sales rep from NXGEN has stated that the standard merchant contracts offered by NXGEN are provided by the larger merchant account provider, Elavon.
These contracts include no early termination fee as well as the option to purchase or lease equipment. Merchants are generally advised to avoid entering equipment lease contracts as the cost is often much more expensive than purchasing the equipment outright.
A standard contract with International Bancard is a three-year agreement with automatic renewal. These contracts include an Early Termination Fee of $599 or the maximum amount dictated by state law, whichever amount is lesser.
