Founded in 2009, Progressive Payments Advisors has been providing best-in-class payments advice and solutions to retailers of all types and sizes. Our primary mission is simple – provide our customers with the lowest possible cost of acceptance for credit & debit card sales and transactions.
Whether you are a new business just starting up or an established business looking for the best payments solution(s) we believe we can achieve the lowest cost of acceptance solution for you.
Our core products are credit/debit card processing and equipment but our approach to selling is different. The word “Advisors” in our name is important to us. We know and understand that each customer is unique. We want to get to know and understand your business, specific needs, challenges and goals. That means we are going to use a consultative approach – – to determine & recommend best solutions and pricing that fits your particular business needs.
We understand that there is virtually no chance of earning or maintaining your business unless we can provide you with the lowest cost of acceptance. That is our goal with every customer!
Unlike others, we only offer 3 pricing models for Merchants - “Interchange Plus”, "Surcharge", or "Cash Discount/Dual Pricing". Cost Plus is the lowest cost, most transparent price model. Surcharge & Dual Pricing pass part or all of the cost of acceptance to the customer. We are committed to providing and allowing you to select the best option for your business.
We offer cutting edge hardware and software solutions for all payment types. We can integrate with your current POS software or hardware or provide you with in-person traditional standalone terminals/pin-pads, mobile POS hardware and software, tablet POS software, and more.
Experience has taught us a few things about our relationships with our merchants and partners. Our Merchants and Partners don’t want to have to call us, ever. But when you need something, you want someone who will answer the phone in less than a minute and allow you to talk to an educated and experienced person who can easily identify your needs and handle them in a swift, professional manner. We’re the first to admit we’re not perfect, but honesty, transparency and fairness will always maintain great relationships.
