Respect & THRIVE
Our mission is to provide excellent service while showing compassion for our environment, our communities, our customers, and ourselves.
This compassion is expressed as respect:
Respect…For the Environment
At Card Service Professionals, we employ sustainable business practices. Internally, our company uses earth-friendly and recycled office products and sustainable energy sources. Externally, we choose to interface with companies that share the same care for the environment.
Respect…For our Community
We believe in the need to give back to the communities that sustain us and to show compassion for those in need. Dedicating a portion of our net profits to charitable organizations that care for sick, underprivileged, underrepresented, and exploited people, animals, and land is our way of showing respect and care for all aspects of our community.
Respect…For our customers
A driving force behind the creation of Card Service Professionals was to create a company that always treated its customers with honesty, fairness, and a great deal of respect. By consolidating our marketing focus and reaching out to like-minded companies, we are able to make respecting and upholding our customers’ values integral to our business.
Respect…For ourselves
We set out to build the type of company that we would like to work for ourselves: one that cares about the people who work there and gives them the opportunity to succeed without ever compromising their integrity. We treat our employees with respect and compassion, and evaluate all work policies on the basis of their impact on employees’ work-life balance. Our goal is to provide a work environment that fosters a healthy mind, body, and spirit. We believe in the fundamental right to equality for all families and have a zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind. This mindset allows us to clear out whatever might be preventing us from enjoying the present moment and set ourselves on a positive trajectory for a full and rich life.
Operational Services
Card Service Professionals partners with merchants to make accepting credit cards, electronic checks, and other payment options simple and fast. Our networks provide exceptional data security, account solutions to meet the unique needs of each industry we service and a variety of credit card processing options to scale with the distinctive business plans of our clients.
Card Service Professionals is a single-source provider for all of our merchants’ payment processing needs. We access full-service Tier 1 credit card processors based in the United States, with offices and data centers across the United States. We leverage our extensive industry experience and comprehensive suite of credit card merchant account services to provide a complete system of credit card processing solutions with competitive rates.
For merchants who already have existing accounts with other service providers, switching to one of Card Service Professionals’ providers is easy! Our merchant account specialists will walk you through the steps required to transfer your existing account information to your new account. Most new merchant accounts are activated and operational within 24 to 48 hours, and for transfer accounts, merchants can continue to accept credit cards throughout the transfer process!
A high-risk merchant account is defined as a merchant account or industry that, as a whole, has a higher potential for fraud and chargebacks than a more traditional retail merchant account.
Industries that have a history of high chargeback rates, legal and/or moral ambiguity, vague products, international merchants, or even e-commerce sites can all be considered High Risk when it comes to accepting credit card payments. If a business has been classified as High Risk to accept credit cards, it is important that they have a merchant service provider who not only understands their business but has the knowledge and experience to skillfully establish a merchant account quickly, transparently, and correctly.
