With Credit Card Processors, Bigger isn’t Better.
Large credit card processors see your business as just a number and offer no benefit over smaller processors. Smaller independent sales organizations (ISO) offer rates just as competitive as those offered by big processors, but they provide more knowledgeable and responsive customer service.
In fact, large processors like First Data and Global Payments contract with ISOs to sell their services. Getting processing services through an ISO of a large processor allows you to use the large processor’s services while benefiting from the superior service of a smaller ISO.
