What do we do?

We are the ones who sell and support credit card transaction processing services. In addition to credit and debit cards (Visa & MasterCard, American Express, Discover etc) we can also work with companies to set up their check services, gift cards, and web-based transactions. We also sell and lease the terminals and software that companies need to run all these services.

How did we get here?

At the head of our team of dedicated, experienced, and employees is founder and CEO John Eliason. According to John "Our goal is to be the kind of company that banks want to partner with, merchants want to deal with, and sales people want to work with. That can only happen if we continually find ways to make it easy to do business with us so everyone wins" Eliason is a born entrepreneur. While other neighborhood kids happily sat curbside on hot summer days manning makeshift lemonade stands in the hopes that someone passing by would buy a cup, eight-year-old 'Johnny' loaded his lemonade into his little red wagon and pulled it to nearby construction sites. The workers were glad to see him and he quickly sold every last drop. He learned at an early age that if you take the initiative to make it easier and better for customers to do business with you, everyone wins.
