The story
PCBancard operates as an independent merchant services provider (ISO/IPA) focused on small and medium-sized businesses, offering credit card processing, dual pricing, B2B Level 2/3 processing, and merchant cash advance products. The company has built a referral partnership network with financial institutions and software companies to expand its merchant base. Its embedded finance stack is centered on acquiring/processing partnerships with regional and national banks rather than modern API-first infrastructure.
