“1st Financial Merchant Group has been amazing! Since switching from B of A, we have saved an incredible amount of money.

"I would like everyone to know how thankful I am. Not only has 1st Financial saved our company money and provided dependable credit card processing, their staff has always been there to provide additional support when needed. There are many credit card processors who talk a good game and leave you hanging out to dry, but not 1st Financial. They are a truly a remarkable team when it comes to merchant account services, they are only interested in creating long term business relationships with honesty, generosity, sincerity and integrity. I will recommend your merchant services to anyone who accepts Visa and MasterCard and wants to save money."

"1st Financial Merchant Group has reduced our fees by more than 30%. In addition, they constantly monitor our credit card sales, when they saw our sales had increased, they decreased our fees. Finally, they are so conscientious, they caught an error the processing bank had made, sent in the correction, informed me and refunded our account over $3000. The team at 1st Financial is like an extended family. They are quick to respond and deliver above and beyond any credit card processing company I have ever dealt with."
Marie Hogan- Beverly Hills, CA

“I have been a retail merchant in Southern California since 1981, during this time I have been involved in various businesses, and I have dealt with many credit card processing companies. 1st Financial Merchant Group has been by far the most professional company with the lowest rates and best customer service that I have had the pleasure of working with.”

"I have owned several start up businesses and currently own a chain of restaurants. I have always thought that the fees associated with credit card payments where non-negotiable. I had no idea that Visa has set a standard interchange chart for all fees. I learned this from 1st Financial Merchant Group. They educated me on interchange, restructured my merchant accounts and ultimately showed me how to get the lowest credit card processing fees possible. The service they have provided me has been incredible and I will never use another company for electronic payments."
Solomon-Beverly Hills, CA

" I have switched credit card processors many times and each time it continued to get worse. Then i received a call from 1st Financial and I have to admit, I was very skeptical! But the agent was more informative in 20 seconds than 5 years of dealing with my local banks. Since they had no contracts or cancellation fees, I figured I had nothing to lose. Within the 1st month from switching over my merchant account, I saved more than 30% and processed 20% more. I have been with 1st Financial for 3 years now and highly endorse their merchant services."
