Why do you need a void cheque belonging to my business?
A void cheque is the best and safest way for the processor to verify that your business and location is legitimate. It is also a secure way to ensure that all of your money is being deposited into the correct account(s).
How many years do I have to be with the new processor if I decide to make the switch?
Every processor has a standard contract term of 3 years from signing date.
Why do you need my photo ID when I am signing up with a new processor?
A copy of a photo ID is mandatory for the processor to have on file in order to avoid fraudulent and illegal activity. It is for both their protection as well as yours.

You will be assigned to an agent who will provide you with a direct contact number and an e-mail address in case you have any questions or concerns.
If I am not happy with the service of the new processor, is there a cancellation fee?
Every processor applies a small cancellation fee when the mutually agreed upon contract is terminated and/or violated.
Do you run a credit check on my personal credit? Will it affect my credit score?
Before you get approved, the processor completes a soft credit check on your personal credit, which does NOT affect your personal credit score
How do you guarantee I get the exact rates offered by the processor?
We do this with agreements between the processors and Merchant Broker. We have full authorization from the processor to control your merchant account and ensure your rates are exactly as proposed.
