Our Mission

In 2013, a group of serial entrepreneurs in the FinTech space created Valmar Merchant Services. Our mission is to provide a scalable payment processing solution with transparent pricing and exceptional customer service for merchants of all sizes and industries. These include high-risk and emerging markets like CBD/hemp, debt collection, online lending, and eCommerce.

Prior to forming Valmar Merchant Services, we experienced the frustrations that merchants face firsthand and knew we were not alone in our struggles. Poor customer service, lack of reporting to substantiate transactions, and dishonest pricing structures were too common.

We built Valmar Merchant Services offering a level of trust we couldn’t find anywhere else.

Since our company’s inception, we experienced consistent growth year-over-year. This growth comes from our dedicated team steadfastly delivering transparency with a personal touch.

Why Valmar?

We’re Your Trusted Partner for Clarity, Stability, and Insight.

We provide peace of mind through transparent pricing, bank redundancy, advanced reporting, and expert support. We ensure no downtime and no surprises for you or your customers.

Bank Redundancy

Every transaction counts. We know that downtime becomes very costly very fast – for your bottom line and your reputation. You can trust Valmar Merchant Services to keep your payment processor up and running.

We partner with numerous banks that are open to high-risk accounts like CBD businesses, debt collection, online lending, and e-commerce to provide unmatched redundancy and unparalleled stability.

Whether you’re just getting started or you’re leading a legacy enterprise, we’re here to help you navigate change, scale your processing services with your business growth, and develop custom solutions for your business’s unique needs and regulatory requirements.

Transparent Pricing

We believe merchants should make informed decisions regarding their payment processing provider, so we utilize the Transparent Interchange Plus pricing model and share our fees up front.

With no setup fees, no hidden fees and no cancellation penalties you can confidently manage your transaction expenses with Valmar Merchant Services as a trusted partner.

And we won’t lock you down with a long-term contract. So, if for any reason you wanted to move on and use a different processor, you could. But we’re not too worried about that, because we know our level of service is second to none.

Top Notch Customer Service

We make significant investments in our team’s continuing education in order to offer the very best customer service and experience. Our experts have certifications in industry-specific verticals such as CBD and hemp, as well as risk and compliance, and in the overall payment space – and we’re constantly sharpening our skills.

With Valmar Merchant Services, you will be paired with a Client Success Manager that will guide you through the setup process and continue to be the main point of contact actively invested in your success.

We put communication at the forefront of our business relationships and work hard to ensure our merchants are never left in the dark.
