Autharize was founded on a simple belief: merchant services should be straightforward, affordable, and backed by people who actually care.
Too many US businesses are stuck with outdated processors, confusing fee structures, and support teams that never pick up the phone. We started Autharize to fix that.
We combine enterprise-grade technology with the personal service of a local partner. Every merchant gets competitive rates, a dedicated account manager, and a platform that actually makes sense.
Every product decision starts with security. PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance is not a checkbox — it is our foundation.
We built Autharize for the business owner, not the enterprise. Simple tools, honest pricing, real support.
99.97% uptime. Same-day approvals. Next-day funding. We know your cash flow cannot wait.
No hidden fees, no surprise rate increases, no long-term lock-ins. What you see is what you pay.
We stay ahead of industry regulations so you do not have to. NACHA, PCI, and state-level compliance built in.
Every merchant gets a dedicated account manager — a real person who knows your business and picks up the phone.
