Meridian Merchant Services Review

Merchant Maverick's Rating: (3 out of 5)

Last Updated: April 18th, 2010.

Overview:
From what I can tell, Meridian Merchant Services (MMS) is a pretty small ISO/MSP. I tried to check their website traffic data on Compete.com to no avail. When Compete doesn't have any traffic data on a site, it's usually because that site isn't getting much traffic. :)

Regardless, I actually like these smaller outfits, they have more ability to pay attention to their customers rather than letting you get lost in the sea of other merchants, but there are a few things that I don't like about MMS.

They don't have any social media profiles (i.e. Facebook and Twitter), they charge a cancellation fee of $300 and they don't really have supporting or educational information on their website.

Read below to learn more about Meridian Merchant Services. I gave them a 3 out of 5 for now.
