What
Being Registered Means to Us and You
Credit
Card Processing Services, Inc. is a registered ISO/MSP of Wells
Fargo Bank, N.A., Walnut Creek, CA
The
most important business decision that CCPS has made was to become
officially registered with the MasterCard and Visa associations.
It reinforces our commitment to living by the high standards
mandated by these organizations and demonstrates our sincere
desire to provide our clients with unrivaled professionalism.
Just
as you would expect that your doctor be a member of the AMA
or your attorney be a member of the Bar, a business owner should
also expect to do business with a credit card merchant sales
professional. Kevin Aniess, the President of Credit Card Processing
Services, regularly attends industry training conferences and
subscribes to and reads each of the major industry trade publications
including Credit Card Management, The Green Sheet, Transaction
World, and others. By doing so we are able to keep abreast of
the latest trends and changing rules and regulations in order
to serve you better.
Registering
as an ISO/MSP (Independent Sales Organization - Visa / Merchant
Service Provider - MasterCard) is much more than simply filling
out a membership application. The process required a review
of our business practices, financial strength, and vision of
the future.
It
should be noted that it is mandatory for every individual and
company that promotes or provides MasterCard and Visa merchant
accounts to be officially registered. This was instituted back
in the 1970's as a way of weeding out unscrupulous sales practices
that were rampant at that time. Unfortunately, even today, there
are still some organizations and sales reps that fail to comply.
Unregistered agents tend to be less informed, prone to make
false representations, less diligent in providing valuable training
and professional advice, and more likely to be less accountable
should a problem develop. As you search for a merchant account
on the Internet please be sure that you see the required ISO/MSP
affiliation along with the sponsoring bank's name and city on
the company's web site. This notice lets you know that you are
doing business with a professional, similar to the MD after
your physician's name or the CPA designation that your accounting
professional proudly displays. Dealing with a registered professional
goes a long way to insuring that we will have a mutually rewarding
long-term professional relationship.
Credit
Card Processing Services values our membership in the Electronic
Transaction Association (ETA) which is the national association
for credit card acquiring professionals. In addition, as a commitment
to better serving our restaurant clients, we are members of
the National Restaurant Association through our sister company
Promo King.
As
a further commitment to integrity and a sense of community,
Credit Card Processing Services is proud to be a long-time member
of the Central Bucks Chamber of Commerce.
