A credit processor is a company whose business is strictly handling credit card verification and electronic transfer of funds.
What is a Merchant Account?
A merchant account is a type of bank account that allows businesses to accept payments by credit cards. A merchant account is established under an agreement between a customer and an acquiring bank for the settlement of payment card transactions.
