What Makes Us Different

Higher Standards is one of the fastest growing merchant processing providers that believes in the power of strong working relationships.

Affiliations with some of the industry’s largest processing companies result in over $1 billion in annual credit and debit card sales worldwide. This volume allows us to provide competitive pricing and the latest technology available.

Higher Standards vertical markets are small to mid-sized banks, government agencies, and small to large businesses. Innovations in a secure infrastructure allow us to provide a variety of beneficial services such as fraud protection and authentication solutions, check guarantee, verification services, and point-of-sale (POS) devices and services.

The power of data is within your reach through your daily transactions, helping your business grow through intelligent marketing decisions and other important related opportunities – all at your fingertips.

 

Higher Professionalism

From the inception of Higher Standards, our core belief has been, and continues to be, to provide the highest level of customer service to our merchants and affiliate partners. Due to our high level of service, Higher Standards has one of the lowest attrition rates in the industry – only 1.5% .

We are very proud of that fact, but our goal is to improve that number by hiring sales professionals and customer support people that not only understand our standards, but live by them each day. Our sales training program for new professionals, as well as those with more experience, is an on-going process. We believe in keeping a step ahead of the trends, new technology and consultative services.

Higher Standards understands the busy nature of running a business, because most of our management team has operated or owned their own organization. Walking in a similar footprint gives us an advantage when servicing our clients. We invite you to visit our “Contact Us” to schedule an appointment to discuss your non-cash payment needs.

On behalf of the Higher Standards organization, we look forward to becoming your preferred Merchant Processing and Mobile Marketing Provider.
