The story

Founded in 2007 as a traditional ISO/MSP credit card processor, Elite Payment Processing repositioned itself as a 'Payment and Interchange Management Company' focused on personalized service for small-to-medium merchants. It expanded its product suite beyond basic payment acceptance to include cash discount programs, chargeback management, interchange optimization, and merchant cash advance. The company remains a small independent sales organization (11–50 employees, $1M–$5M revenue) serving storefront retailers, internet retailers, and card-not-present merchants.
