A Possible DBA of National Card Solutions
Based in Portland, Oregon, PayPartners is a merchant account provider that resells First Data (now Fiserv) contracts. We have received one comment beneath our National Card Solutions review claiming that PayPartners is simply a DBA of National Card Solutions. National Card Solutions is a poorly rated payment processor on CPO with a complicated history.
An Organization With Many Names
National Card Solutions appears to share ownership or be otherwise affiliated with three other credit card processors called Performance Merchant Alliance, United Card Solutions (unitedcardsolutions.com), and Direct Processors (directprocessors.com). All companies have similar websites and promotional language (though Performance's site is down as of this review), and all four appear to be represented by Jeff Easter, an online reputation management specialist.
Prestige Payment Systems Links
Merchant account provider reviews indicate that National Card Solutions is a DBA of Prestige Payment Systems. United Card Solutions and Direct Processors are also other suspected DBAs of Prestige Payment Systems. Based on these potential connections, merchants are advised to inquire about PayPartners' affiliations and corporate ties.
Prestige Payment Payment Processing
Prestige Payment does not give much information about themselves, but it appears that they at least process most major credit and debit cards. They do list that they offer point-of-sale systems, mobile payment solutions, gateway-enabled web storefronts, PCI compliance, digital wallets, and MOTO payments.
PayPartners Location and Ownership
PayPartners is headquartered at 1455 Irving St., Suite #200 Portland, Oregon 97209. It does not disclose the identities of its ownership team. However, elsewhere we have found that Jack Anthony is a co-founder of the company, while Marvin Johnson has acted as COO.

Pay partners had solicited us repeatedly trying to convince us to sign up with them as our new new merchant credit card processing account holder.
They had convinced us that they would be much cheaper than what we were paying with our current merchant Prosessor and had giving us a monthly quote of $300 flat rate a month as long as we stay committed to that $300 dollars monthly payment with them they would give us unlimited merchant processing at a 1% flat rate charge as long as we would run $300,000 dollars worth of credit cards a year with them.
Well we kept our end of the bargain and we are running an average of $30,000 per month with them.
Our combined monthly charges was agreed to not exceed more than $6,600 yearly with our commitment to run $300,000 worth of credit cards a year. Some months are less than $30,000
So $300,000 roughly.
We had agree to only take visa and master, and discover cards at that price. And no American Express was agreed.
We are now paying anywhere from $1,090 a month to $1,135 a month for our first couple months processing since we have been signed up with them. That would amount to as much as $13000 or more a year a far cry from our committed $6,600 a year we thought we were getting.
Do not believe a word they say, Johnny was the sales rep and he will say what ever it takes to close the deal and have you sign a 4 years commitment with them leaving you with no way out.
And come to find out the $300 a month was for the merchant processing machines very misleading and very frustrating as well .
The money is automatically taken out of our account every month so they are in control and it’s not what we signed up for.
if it sounds to good to be true it probably is!.

Pay partners sounded so good at first but i’m in the process of a review in the first 2 months of doing business and it is difficult to say the least. There are some horrible customer service employees that will not help! They seem to find happiness in making every phone call a disaster. In 30 years as a national company i have never had this many issues. Somehow we got on a wrong program between contract and first statement. Even the first 1.00 test cost me over 12.00! so i’m getting fees beyond frustrating and paying the termination fee seems like a blessing. I’m hoping its not lawyer time but i am a principled based business man who is tenacious as they will learn

Under any circumstances, never do business with this company! They are unprofessional! And you can’t trust the word they say! You should lower their grade to F!
