CREDIT CARD MERCHANT ACCOUNT

Credit Card Merchant Account Services

Having a credit card machine doesn’t automatically enable a business to start accepting credit card payments. In order to process credit card and/or debit card payments, a business needs to have a credit card merchant account as well.

What is a Merchant Account?

A merchant account ensures that when you swipe a customer’s card you actually receive funds for the transaction. After swiping the customer’s credit or debit card the credit card machine sends the transaction to a processor. In less than 5 seconds, the processor analyzes the data, checks the cardholder’s account, approves or rejects the transaction amount, and responds to the merchant.

At the end of the day, the merchant sends a summary of transaction information from the credit card terminal to the processor for proof and daily totals. The credit card processor compares the daily totals with the individual transactions they’ve processed, and if the numbers balance, they authorize a transfer of the funds due to the merchant. All of this is done courtesy of your credit card merchant account processing services.
