You’re running a business, not a collection agency. When payments flow smoothly, everything else falls into place. Your invoices get paid on time, funds hit your account in 2-4 business days, and you can focus on what actually grows your business.
No more chasing down late payments or wondering when that big invoice will clear. Our payment processing solutions handle the heavy lifting so you can get back to serving customers and building your company. The difference shows up in your bank account and your peace of mind.
Merchant Processing Solutions Inc isn’t another fly-by-night payment processor. We’ve been helping businesses in the greater Washington DC area process payments for over 30 years, with a full team of 30+ dedicated employees right here in nearby Annapolis, Maryland.
We understand Centreville’s business landscape. This area has some of the highest property values in Virginia, which means the businesses here are established and need reliable, professional payment processing. We’re not trying to be everything to everyone – we focus on what we do best: making sure you get paid quickly and affordably.
Getting started is straightforward. First, we evaluate your specific business needs and transaction patterns to design a custom processing approach that actually makes sense for your operation. No cookie-cutter solutions here.
Next, we handle the technical setup and integration with your existing systems. Whether you need countertop terminals, wireless processing, or online payment gateways, we configure everything to work seamlessly with your current workflow. Our team walks you through the system so you’re comfortable from day one.
Once you’re live, payments process automatically and funds typically appear in your bank account within 2-4 business days. You’ll have access to our merchant portal to track transactions in real-time, and our customer support team is available Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 10 PM EST if you need anything.

Our payment processing solutions cover all the bases. You can accept credit cards, debit cards, EBT, checks, and even offer gift cards and loyalty programs. We work with all major card brands and provide the fraud protection tools that keep your transactions secure.
For Centreville businesses, this comprehensive approach matters. Your customers expect options, and you need systems that can handle everything from small daily transactions to larger purchases. Our equipment selection includes everything from space-saving countertop terminals to mobile wireless solutions for businesses that process payments on-site.
The local business environment in Centreville demands reliability and professionalism. That’s exactly what you get with our established track record, BBB accreditation, and recognition as Annapolis’s Best Business Development Service provider for both 2023 and 2024.
Processing fees vary based on your business type, transaction volume, and the specific payment methods you accept. We focus on offering some of the lowest rates in the industry rather than hitting you with hidden fees that eat into your profits.
Our approach is transparent – we evaluate your actual processing needs and provide a custom rate structure that makes sense for your business. Many Centreville businesses save significant money when they switch to our processing solutions because we eliminate unnecessary fees and optimize rates based on your transaction patterns. We’ll show you exactly what you’ll pay upfront, no surprises.
Once you settle your daily batch of transactions, funds typically appear in your bank account within 2-4 business days. This is industry standard for most payment processors, and we maintain this reliable timeline consistently.
The key is understanding when your transactions actually settle. If you process a payment on Monday and settle your batch that evening, you can expect those funds by Wednesday or Thursday. We provide real-time transaction tracking through our merchant portal so you always know the status of your payments and can plan your cash flow accordingly.
The equipment you need depends on your specific business setup and how you interact with customers. For most retail locations, a countertop terminal handles the majority of transactions efficiently. If you need mobility within your location, wireless terminals give you that flexibility.
We provide a complete range of equipment options, from basic PIN pads to full POS systems that integrate with inventory management. For Centreville businesses that operate in multiple locations or need to process payments on-site at customer locations, we have mobile solutions that work anywhere with cellular coverage. Our team evaluates your workflow and recommends the most cost-effective equipment setup for your needs.
Integration capability is crucial for streamlined business operations, and we work with most major business software platforms. Our payment solutions can typically integrate with popular accounting software, inventory management systems, and e-commerce platforms.
The integration process varies depending on your current systems, but our technical team handles the setup to ensure data flows properly between your payment processing and business management tools. This eliminates double data entry and gives you accurate, real-time financial reporting. We test all integrations thoroughly before going live to prevent any disruption to your business operations.
Security is non-negotiable in payment processing. We provide fraud elimination tools and maintain PCI compliance standards to protect both your business and your customers’ sensitive payment information. All transactions are encrypted and processed through secure networks.
Our fraud detection systems monitor transactions in real-time and flag suspicious activity before it becomes a problem. We also provide chargeback protection services to help you handle any disputed transactions professionally. As a registered ISO of PNC Bank, we maintain the same security standards as major financial institutions, giving you and your customers confidence in every transaction.
Our customer support team is available Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 10 PM Eastern Time. When you call, you’ll speak with knowledgeable representatives who understand payment processing and can resolve most issues quickly.
We maintain a full team of 30+ dedicated employees at our corporate office in Annapolis, so you’re not dealing with a call center halfway around the world. Our support includes technical assistance, transaction troubleshooting, and help with equipment issues. We also provide training for your staff when you first get set up and ongoing support as your business needs evolve.
