With Heartland, you get a credit card processor that is dedicated to protecting your business. Heartland Secure, our card processing security solution, uses three powerful technologies—EMV, end-to-end encryption and tokenization—to protect your customer’s card data as soon as the credit or debit card is used, making all data completely useless to hackers. Process payments on your point-of-sale devices or with our online virtual terminal. Learn more about secure merchant account processing today.
Comprehensive Breach Warranty
Sixty percent of small businesses permanently close their doors within six months of a credit card breach. We’re so confident in Heartland Secure, our credit card processing security technology, that our merchants are covered by a comprehensive breach warranty. In the unlikely event that you experience a credit card breach while using a Heartland Secure-certified device, we will pay for losses, fines and fees that result from a card data breach, protecting your business from becoming part of the 60 percent. Find out how to get covered by our free breach warranty.
Interchange-Plus Pricing
At Heartland, transparency drives everything we do. That’s why we offer Interchange-Plus pricing—giving you full disclosure into how much you’re paying us and how much goes to the card brands. This protects you from arbitrary price increases and ensures that you receive the full benefit of cost reductions, such as the Durbin Amendment savings.
Consolidated Statements
Heartland consolidates all of your credit card transactions into a single statement regardless of the credit card brand used, giving you a single view of your transactions. No more surfing through multiple statements.
No Hidden Fees
Other credit card processors mislead merchants by hiding extra fees and surcharges in confusing contracts and statements. At Heartland, fairness and transparency are our core values. It defines who we are and how we do business as your advocate. With Heartland, merchants can count on an easy-to-read credit card statement that clearly shows how much they paid and what they are accountable for. This way, merchants know which fees were sent to the card brands, and the amount collected by Heartland—full disclosure and transparency.
