Company Overview
CreditCardProcessing.com is a merchant account provider that appears to have operated as either a subsidiary or an ISO of Paysafe (formerly iPayment). An early version of the company’s homepage described it as “an iPayment company,” so it is likely that CreditCardProcessing.com exclusively offered iPayment contracts prior to its acquisition by Paysafe Group. At the time of this update, CreditCardProcessing.com is a contracted reseller of First Data, now known as Fiserv.
CreditCardProcessing.com Payment Processing
CreditCardProcessing.com processes most major credit and debit cards. Their website boasts iAccess online reporting, Level 1 PCI, phone support, breach security, and a dedicated account manager. The company also advertises Clover as a POS solution and claims to give a free Clover Mini to each account holder.
Location & Ownership
CreditCardProcessing.com states that it was founded in 1998 (although it’s possible that the company is simply using iPayment’s founding date) and claims to serve over 153,000 merchants. Ryan Mirpanah is listed as the most recent director of sales at CreditCardProcessing.com. One website lists a David Allen as CEO. The company is a registered ISO/MSP of Woodforest National Bank, The Woodlands Texas; and Compass Bank an Alabama State Chartered Bank. It is headquartered at 128 Vision Park Blvd, #300, Conroe, TX 77384.

Under 5 Complaints
CreditCardProcessing.com currently has an “A+” rating with the Better Business Bureau and has been accredited since December 2013. The company is showing 1 complaint in the past 36 months. The 1 complaint was filed due to product and service problems. It was not resolved by the company to the satisfaction of the merchant and was instead resolved to the dissatisfaction of the merchant or received no final response.
What Merchants Say
In addition to that 1 complaint, the company has also received no informal reviews on its BBB profile. A previous negative review is from a merchant warning of hidden fees:
I had a terrible experience with this company. After being assured by their representative this would be the most effective way for me to process credit card payments for my small business, I found myself pay a ton of hidden fees. I ended up paying $97.11 in fees for the $280 credit card transaction I processed in November, 2018. The customer service is awful, and wait times often exceeded 20 minutes. Upon closing my account they refused to refund me any of these hidden fees.
Merchants stuck in similar situations should take the steps to familiarize themselves with contract terms to avoid that often result in hidden fees.
A “C” Performance
In light of the company’s moderate complaint rate and poor resolution ratio, we have adjusted the BBB’s rating to a “C.”

Tiered Interchange-Plus Pricing Structure
Creditcardprocessing.com has introduced an interchange-plus pricing structure. They offer this based off 4 levels of processing volume with decreased transaction rates at higher volumes. The basic package starts at interchange plus $0.30 per transaction with a monthly fee of $15 ranging up to the high volume package offering interchange plus $0.05 per transaction with a monthly fee of $249. These pricing models all come with an asterisk that states “Certain terms and conditions may apply.”
They company has also lumped most additional services like PCI compliance, online reporting, and a dedicated account manager into two supplementary monthly packages called “Plus” and “Pro”, costing an additional $79 and $99 respectively. These packages also have their own transaction rates associated. All packages advertise PCI compliance included, so these plans could include additional benefits not listed. While it appears creditcardprocessing.com has done some work to clarify and simplify their rates and fees, there does seem to be some overlaps with their current pricing model, leaving room for potential unnecessary additional fees. We advise all merchants to carefully read over their contract details before signing.
According to merchant complaints, the standard CreditCardProcessing.com can be canceled at any time with no early termination fee, but one merchant in the comment section of this review does report a cancellation fee of up to $350. Complainants have described many various fees through the company, including a $99 annual PCI compliance fee, a $7.95 monthly gateway fee, a $5 monthly statement fee, a variable monthly minimum fee, and a tiered pricing plan with rates that vary from merchant to merchant.
The company also provides POS solutions and gateway services on its website. However, no details regarding gateway fees or other charges associated with equipment leases are disclosed on the website. CreditCardProcessing.com does advertise its use of Clover POS systems, which carry their own terms of service. It is not clear whether the company leases these POS terminals or is a reseller of Clover’s equipment.
The fee tiers for CreditCardProcessing.com
Virtual Terminal and Payment Gateway Pricing
In addition to its storefront payment processing services, CreditCardProcessing.com also dedicates a portion of its website to advertising its virtual terminal and payment gateway services. However, pricing is not disclosed on either of those services. Previously, the website stated that there is no set-up fee associated with these services. Additional rates and fees, including gateway fees, technical support fees, batch fees, and additional transaction rates typically apply to these e-commerce services.
What you get with CreditCardPayments.com depends on which tier of service you purchase
Contract Complaints
Most CreditCardProcessing.com complaints about the company’s contract terms are related to unexpected monthly fee increases and fund-holds. Complaints of this nature usually indicate an issue with agent nondisclosure regarding costs and fraud prevention at the point of signing, and we would typically lower a company’s score for this reason. However, CreditCardProcessing.com’s apparent lack of an early termination fee helps to limit merchants’ risk and enables them to exit a contract if they are dissatisfied. Merchants frustrated with funds held by the company would benefit from knowing how to force CreditCardProcessing.com to release their money.

Several Sales Complaints
CreditCardProcessing.com appears to market itself through the use of independent sales agents, traditional advertising, search engine marketing, and a referral program. The use of independent agents is typically linked to elevated complaint rates for a company (with iPayment being a prime example), and in the case of CreditCardProcessing.com, we have found a low-to-moderate number of CreditCardProcessing.com complaints related to the sales experience. Complainants specifically mention hidden fees and higher-than-quoted rates. CreditCardProcessing.com’s relatively low sales complaint total is unexpected for a company that was at one point so closely linked to iPayment, but its complaint rate over the past two years is beginning to catch up to iPayment’s poor reputation.
This does not compare favorably to our list of best credit card processors.
Misleading Rate Quote
We have located ads in both Google search results and on one of the company’s landing pages claiming that “rates start at 0.35%.” This rate is likely the company’s Qualified debit rate, but it makes no mention of the Mid-Qualified and Non-Qualified rates that merchants will pay on most debit and credit card transactions. We consider this type of rate quoting to be deceptive, as it could give merchants an unrealistic expectation of the rates they will pay. In fact, this type of quote seems to contradict the language on the company’s “Rates and Fees” page, which states that although “most merchants want to immediately know the exact rates and fees they will incur,” the company’s sales agents “are extremely well trained and they know that a ‘one size fits all’ approach is absolutely not in the best interest of our merchants.” For this reason, merchants are advised to not make any decisions based solely on rate quotes displayed in the company’s advertising. As of this update, the company has removed its “Rate and Fees” page.
Room For Improvement
CreditCardProcessing.com’s use of “teaser” quotes has lowered its grade in this category, and the rising number of CreditCardProcessing.com complaints about the processor’s sales practices has further lowered it to a “C.” If you suspect that CreditCardProcessing.com is charging you undisclosed fees, we recommend seeking a free third-party statement audit.
CreditCardProcessing.com Review Summary
Our Final Thoughts and Opinions
An Average Option All-Around
CreditCardProcessing.com rates as an average credit card processor according to our rating system. Although the company had close ties with iPayment, a poorly rated provider on CardPaymentOptions.com, it may now operate independently upon iPayment’s absorption into Paysafe. Additionally, its lack of an early termination fee and low overall complaint rate might make it a decent option for some business owners. Even so, merchants are encouraged to ask about all rates and fees and to shop competitively for a highly-rated merchant services provider whenever possible.

They have too many hidden and annual fees. They keep charging annual fee without notice after I canceled their service . Their service is worst ever. Do not give them your bank account number.

Creditcardprocessing.com is the worst company I have dealt with in the 21 years I’ve been in business. They allow third party companies to charge you for services you never asked for . My processing rate went from 1.37% to over 6 % . PCI scans every 3 months is a joke . Something always go wrong so they can charge you a late fee . Plus it’s a real hassle. Plus the PCI annual fees . Not to mention all the monthly fees . Now I’m in the process of canceling. They have to email you a form to fill out and then ask you to fill it out . Of course after I filled it out two days later I still haven’t heard anything I called and was told they didn’t receive it . After I got upset he found it after a 5 minute hold . He said sorry it will take a little bit longer. I said more then 2 days to cancel an account? He said yes . I should have left a long time ago the first time I say $30 extra dollars being taken out of my account.

Despite filling out an ACCOUNT CLOSURE form like I was instructed my bank account keeps being debited each month.
Customer service lies and deceives you will they rack up monthly charges on your bank account.
How this company can continue to be in business is beyond me, they should all be jailed
F Grade dishonest, liars, lack ethics and good faith
Michael Aquino
Agreed. They did the same exact thing to me!! The fact that they are so unwilling to refund ANY amount of $ is a crime. I hope they go bankrupt.

BEWARE! These guys are scam artists! They lure you into signing up with them offering you really good deals making you think that they’re a really competitive card processing company out there, however, you’ll find unexpected surprises whenever your account is charged excessive and undisclosed fees.
I signed up and asked the sales rep. multiple times what I would end up paying if I processed X amount of money in a month, he broke it down to me and it all made sense, after the money got deposited they still charged me an undisclosed and unauthorized $200 + amount.
I tried disputing it with them and they were obviously not helpful at all and refused to refund this money, so I took it to my bank and since they use an ACH system, they are able to get away with this theft because banks usually have a 1 business day windw to dispute any ACH transactions. I was unfortunately out of the country and couldn’t do anything but let them steal from me.
I’m warning you hardworking people out there, avoid these scammers!

Avoid creditcardprocessing.com and iPayment, Inc. They are thieves and will deny any wrong doing on their part, not to mention, outright lie to you right over the phone. They will charge fees for something you never asked for then refuse to refund anything unless you persistently demand it, like everyday. Which is an ordeal and such a headache. The customer service, customer relations dept, and management is absolutely terrible. I can’t imagine how many other customers were ripped off by unknown fees and when they found out tried getting a refund by this crappy company.
Both creditcardprocessing.com and iPayment, Inc (an ISO of Wells Fargo bank) fraudulently opened a second account without our permission back in April of 2016 which they had been charging fees on. The fees were ranging from about $35 to over $120 which I thought was for our physical in store terminal. We opened the account on May, 2014 with Brian Maloney (senior sales consultant) and he was the only person I contacted for questions or info about our account. Brett Erickson (#03313-063) at creditcardprocessing opened this fraud account without our knowledge, and there were no calls, emails, or letters from this person to open an account. I have called Brett and left a voicemail but never heard back from him, nor several other sales people at creditcardprocessing.com. I also called the “sales manager” who told me her name was “Sarah” who verbally promised me that she would investigate by looking up a recorded phone call that I had wanted a 2nd account opened (ridiculous) would call me back in 24 hours. I never heard back from “Sarah”. So I called back and the customer service rep told me that there is no “Sarah in this building, the sales manager is named Kim Nemet” So this Kim Nemet just lied to me by giving me a fake name and never doing what she said she was going to do. Also, no one else there wants to investigate what has happened. They immediately deny everything and blame the customer. They don’t seem to get that an account fraudulently opened isn’t a big deal. Is these companies you want to trust with your money??

overcharged several months more than what was in the contract agreement, after i called they said it was for a specific service (which i did not enroll in). I asked them to remove that service and they said they would credit for those months but they never did. After a few months they began over charging again other bogus fees and again they said they would credit those fees but i have never seen those credits. I have cancelled their service but after cancelling, they continued to bill us for the merchant service.
FRANK NASSER
I was very dissatisfied with Credi CardProcessing and caution any small business owner to do due diligence before subscribing to the service. Startup was complex, tedious and full of legalese. The cost of operations far exceeded our expectations do to hidden charges, mostly nonqualified card fees. Trying to cancel the service was equally complex and tedious. I am still unable to obtain a finishing invoice despite receiving a dunning notice for final charges (which I don’t know what they are, because I don’t have the final invoice). Throughout the cancellation process and the request for a final invoice, Customer Service has been unhelpful and somewhat untruthful.

I feel like I made a big mistake, everyone was polite and professional in the beginning but after the sign up process everything changed. I got questioned for asking questions. I called the risk department because I wanted to make sure there was complete transparency with me and credit card processing and I asked them. When do you guys usually hold funds and for what reasons ? This is my business and I have the right to call in as many times I feel necessary if I feel uncomfortable, or for whatever reason at all. The agent immediately says “my question to you is, what makes you inquire on something like that” I was in shock. The way the agent said it, it was almost as if I was the bad guy for asking questions. I then tell then answer the agents question politely and professionally and also mention that my sales agent told me to call and ask questions. Then I ask the agent am I not allowed to ask you questions ? The agent then says sarcastically well I’m allowed to answer questions too. And then puts me on hold and transfers me to someone else. The sales agent promised me in the beginning that everything was verified and that there wouldn’t be any sudden holds on my account but shortly after I get a notification that all of my transactions are now suspended and need to be verified. My sales agent then tells me that it is apart of the process and they need to verify a new business. The sales agent should have mentioned that to me when I asked priori to me signing up and I wouldn’t have even bothered. These sales agents will beat around the bush and not be transparent with you and when you’re signed up communication is little-none. I’m disappointed in my business decision. They asked me to send documentation on the transaction and I did and then I started getting asked more questions. Why did you send us a ID of a customer who paid ? (Sales rep told me that I should and that it would make it look more legitimate because I’m using a virtual terminal) Why is your DBA name Moving Services ? Who are you ? How long you been in business ? Have you had a processor before ? I ANSWERED ALL THEAE QUESTIONS IM THE FIRST PLACE BEFORE GETTING APPROVED NOW I HAVE TO GET APPROVED AGAIN AND HAVE MY FUNDS HELD FOR 2-5 days? They don’t message you after getting approved they message you when your scheduled to get a deposit of your funds to then look for any reason to hold your monies. I then told them I feel a little uncomfortable because credit card processing has a lot of complaints online they tell me we been in business since 1987 or somewhere around that time frame I did my research and that’s a LIE thgey have been inn business for about ten years. I told a agent at risk department and said that that have certain complaints that scare me they laughed and said well people are going to complain whenever there funds are held . Almost as if it was amusing to hold someone else’s hard earned money . I don’t know what the end result is I sent documentation I sent info and I’m waiting for a answer. But this company does not make you feel welcomed at all when you call. Be prepared to feel like a criminal everytime you call. And they will make you feel uneasy and very nervous. I feel like I’m about to be ripped off
Ashlie Voerg
DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE A CHANCE!!!! Them or iPayment! They are absolutely horrible!! They held $3,000 of my money until their risk department spoke with 5 of my customers to make sure the transactions were legit! I get that they want to do a risk but there is other ways to go about doing this. The 5 customers are my regulars and it killed me that I had to bug them about this! They then cancelled my account so I couldn’t login while fighting them to release my money. Thank goodness I took pictures of all the tranactions before they locked me out of the app so I had some sort of proof! I’m still out $300 that I’m sure I will never see. They won’t call or email me back and charged me a withdraw and ledger fee? No clue what that’s for and of course I haven’t gotten an explanation. RAY in Risk Management is a horrible person (to put it midly). He basically told me that he doesn’t care if I call him to complain because he hears these complaints everyday all day. He said that it’s no sweet off his back and that I need to have backup funds in order to run a business just incase something like this ever happens!! Really, Ray?!? There are so many other things that happend but I don’t have time to write them all out. AGAIN, NEVER TRUST OR GO WITH THESE GUYS!!!
Carlos Ruiz
This company is HORRIBLE!! Don’t sign up with them it took me months to try and close an account with them. They are incompetent and very negligent, it’ seems they are trying to reach quota and don’t care about you afterwards. This is “company” is a disgrace, wasted my time and money.
Heather
RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL. I called for their pricing structure. Ultimately I decided to go with a different company. When I told the sales guy that contacted me, he sent me back a rude email basically telling me that I’m going to get ripped off and when I do to call him… um… NO!
He ended all of his emails with the tagline, “Cheers!”… I didn’t know we were going out for drinks, I thought I was requesting information about credit card processing for my business.
Dustin Johnson
Absolutely horrific experience! The customer service is awful. Be prepared to wait a month for anything to happen, after sitting on hold for 20 minutes at time, over multiple calls. Everything goes through a terrible chain of command, therefore you are subject to tremendous delays. Sales reps are deceitful. I was made to think that I would be paying under 2% fee for credit card transactions; at the bottom of 1 email i received, there was a note about “high risk credit cards” incurring an addition 2%… What they don’t tell you is that nearly 100% of credit cards will be deemed high risk! I’ve been trying to close my account for over two weeks now, and they keep coming up with reasons why they can’t close my account…awful company, awful experience, horrible waste of time and money.
Hardworking Customer
We run a health care business and have been using CreditCardProcessing.com for roughly 3 years to process credit card payments. Our income from credit card payments is 10 to 20 k per month. The biggest issue with this company is they do not give you a peace of mind! We have to watch them closely EACH MONTH through the monthly statement for the additional fees or rate (qualified, midqual, nonqual) increase they try to sneak up on us – something we did not agreed upon when signing up services with them. In the 3 years we are with CreditCardProcessing.com, they’ve done that relentlessly. To give them credit, typically if you call Customer Services they would refund the additional fees or restore the rate. If you want to use them, prepare to make those calls often. We are seriously thinking of leaving them.

Thieves. Do NOT use them. They will rape your account. They are immoral heartless robots.
Richard .M
I run a non-profit for the homeless. First off they required me to open 5 accounts to run 10 swipers. Later I found that I only needed two accounts to do that. I opened these accounts for 2 fundraisers over a 30 day period. Today I went to close the accounts and was informed that I opened two accounts up for 3 year contracts and have to pay a $350.00 early termination fee on both….total scumbags. Of course there are no notes on the accounts during the opening process. Never again…
Teresa
This is a horrible company. I started with them March of this year. They didn’t get me the terminals on time. They have been over charging me for terminals that aren’t being used. It took them 60 days to credit me and still have not credited me the correct amount. and now, because I got rid of two terminals they charged my account and I can no longer access the iAcess website, I have been calling for 2 weeks and no one can get it right!!! they have the wrong email for me and refuse to change it!!! I am soooo done with this company. I will be canceling immediately….DO NOT USE THEM!!!!
Steve Crowder
Worst company I have dealt with, lie to you at every turn. Takes forever on hold to get ahold of customer service. RUN,RUN,RUN, FAST, did not know how well I had it with Elavon.
david barlow
horrible company to do business with. rates our not what they quoted and when you try to cancel they will keep billing you $32.95 a month. run as far as you can from these guys. customer service if you do get someone is the worst. nothing but attitudes
Paul Yost
Not too thrilled with it taking OVER a WEEK to get me a new terminal when it died in warranty. There backup for these situations is pretty sloppy and non-existent. I am stunned how ridiculous the whole process is and amount of time its taking, I know it would not be this long if they were in my position!
Richard Adams
Creditcardprocessing.com has the worst costumer service and rudest costumer service. I have sent numerous emails, faxes, and letters to cancel my account and even had email as well as verbal acknowledgement and yet for 5 months the continue to bill me and charge my bank. Each month I spend 2 to 3 hours on the phone with their very rude and uncooperative customer service trying to resolve this issue.
Alden Treadway
I have never been more unsatisfied with a service that I am paying plenty for. Once approved, I immediately ran into contradictions. The percentage taken out of each transaction was much higher than what was agreed upon and initially discussed with my representative. After trying to contact him for days, I finally got in touch with his supervisor, who told me “he is a sales person and doesn’t have time to return my calls”, even though I had a scheduled phone call with him (F++ customer service). I then noticed that transactions I was making were not being deposited into my account. Even worse, this company is STILL taking money out of my account while withholding MY money from me. I have been hung up on multiple times. I have been trying to speak with anyone who can help me on the phone for 4 days in a row to attempt to resolve this issue. I have only spoken to one person who told me “his hands are tied”. Please, please DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. At this point I am convinced it is a scam.
Monica Southerland
Don’t be tricked into signing with this company. There are hidden fees, and my fees change every month. Can’t get any help from the operators concerning the matter, and there very rude. I am also in a contract with them and can’t get out of it unless i pay a fee.

Signed up with Mytro, worst after the sale service ever. Took them a week longer than they promised to send machine, charged my account before anything was used or received still not up and running and no one will call back. Am going to turn over to my attorney to handle. Don’t walk away from this company, run fast.
Nate
They lied about the price. When I signed up I got a bill for 5x the price quoted. Plus it took them 6 weeks to get me the card reader, when they said I could get it by the end of the first week.
Bill Johnson
I tried to cancel service 3 times with Roy Bondurant” [email protected]
back in feb 2015 and twice in march. He said “he would take care of it. I have NEVER used this service.
They have been whacking me for $32.95/ea month since jan 2015 when I signed up a trial period.
Today I noticed I am still being charged monthly fees!
This company is a RIP OFF SCAM ALERT
Corey D
Sign-up and account approval is quick and easy, that’s where the “Pros” end. Prior to signing up I spoke in detail to their representative about fees and charges associated with the use of their products to ensure I had a good understanding. Unfortunately I found out I was completely mislead. To my dismay within about a month I was charged over $114 in various fees. I immediately called the company and explained this to them. Their representative was not even able to explain all of the fees they charged me yet I still had to pay them. I immediately canceled.
