What are merchant services?
The term merchant services covers a lot of ground. It describes the hardware, software, and financial services required for a business to accept credit, debit, and contactless payments, both in-person and online.
What is a merchant account?
A merchant account is what connects a business's bank account to their merchant service provider. The business and the provider enter into a merchant agreement that allows the business to accept and process credit, debit, and other forms of payment, and get the funds deposited in the business's bank account.
Why do businesses need merchant service providers?
Merchant service providers allow businesses accept payments both in-store via card readers and point-of-sale (POS) systems, and online via payment gateways and software. In general, there are three different types of merchant service providers: banks, ISO/MSPs, and fintech companies. Businesses pay for merchant services by either paying fees directly to their merchant service provider, or by passing on fees to cardholders. Burlington Bank Card is an ISO/MSP.

Secure and reliable payment processing, excellent service, low fees and no contracts.
