This is our business. This is our turf. This is our passion.
For 20 years we have built up over 30 plus different relationships with banks and ISOs. We use our relationships and our vast knowledge and experience to provide the best merchant accounts for high risk businesses.
Why Us?
Relationships That Work for You
Many of these relationships over the years allowed us to build a very close bond with CEOs and decision makers for these banks and ISOs. Our clients benefit from our close relationships. This is more than a job for us, this is our passion.
Securing Approvals With Better Terms
At times we must take full advantage of the close relationships we’ve built in order for an approval to come about at desirable terms for our clients. As a merchant not only do you want to be approved for a merchant processing account, you also want beneficial terms for your business.
Expert Guidance Through Bank Underwriting
We know the ins and outs of bank underwriting requirements and that allows us to advise clients at crucial times when an approval decision is on the fence.
First Class Service,
Lasting Partnerships
At First Card Payments our business model is FIRST CLASS CUSTOMER SERVICE and to obtain the lowest possible fees and terms for our clients.
By doing such we believe our clients will stick with us long term; having no need or desire to entertain other solutions.
And it doesn’t end there. We also provide full consulting on all merchant account related issues. We believe that our job is not over once you are approved for an account. We spend our time making sure that you are always able to sell and receive payment. We are in your corner.
Dependability That Builds Lasting Relationships.
We pride ourselves on always being there for our clients at the drop of a hat. That is why we have clients who have been with us just about since day 1.
