Founded in 1983, XCharge bases its operations in Pleasant Grove, Utah. XCharge is registered with HSBC Bank, National Association of Buffalo, New York, Wells Fargo Bank and Synovus Bank. XCharge prides itself on reliability and the versatility to service virtually any type of business.
Some confusion is created by an ongoing transition from doing business under the XCharge brand to the OpenEdge brand; They are one in the same. This company also does business under the Accelerated Payment Technologies brand.
XCharge has been in business since 1983 but appears to have been acquired by Global Payments in August 2012. Much of the XCharge website has been updated with OpenEdge branding, suggesting XCharge now operates under the OpenEdge umbrella.

Like many providers, XCharge doesn’t disclose any pricing information on its website. There are two reasons for this. First, pricing is customized to each merchant. There are no standard fees that apply to every merchant using XCharge. Second, all fees and rates charged for merchant accounts are paid to Global Payments, not XCharge. When you sign up for XCharge, your Merchant Application is actually through Global Payments. XCharge is listed as a third-party software vendor.
