Merchants can expect honest clear-cut answers to question from trained professionals when they call. You will not find a more knowledgeable or accommodating staff anywhere in the merchant service industry.

Support: FastLaunch employees are simply the best in the business. While smaller companies that sell credit card processing equipment and services over the internet use the same employees for both support and sales, FastLaunch has dedicated departments for both account and equipment support in addition to a highly trained sales staff. Support personnel will do whatever it takes to keep you up and running with no down time. They will do it without a seemingly endless number of call transfers to different departments that you are probably used to with your current processor.

Sales Experience: Each month, every FastLaunch sales representative assists dozens of merchants in setting up their merchant account. Several representatives have assisted over one thousand merchants to establish credit card processing accounts. In the complex world of merchant processing there is no substitute for experience.

Our Philosophy: We are committed to evaluating each business situation and to custom design a credit card processing approach that meets your specific requirements in the most cost effective manner possible. By recommending and installing tomorrow's technology today, FastLaunch ensures that your existing investment will continue to serve you well into the future.
