What is credit card processing?

Credit card processing involves a relationship between a retailer and a bank or financial institution. As the retailer, you can accept credit cards as payment for goods or services. The financial institution approves each transaction, checks for security and safety, and transfers the funds from the credit card’s available balance to the merchant’s bank account. However, the merchant and the bank do not necessarily conduct this transaction directly. A processing company often acts as “middleman,” not only with each transaction but with the initial set-up of the credit card processing system. The processing company helps merchants find the best plan for their businesses, provides resources and necessary equipment, and provides support on an “as needed” basis.
