Testimonials

What operators are saying.

The Marlowe-Pugnetti Company highly recommends Ascend Payment Systems! We have been working with them for over 6 years now, and we have found them very responsive and professional. Our experience with our bank’s processing vendor was clumsy and expensive. Also we experienced push-back when running large transactions. I am so glad I enlisted Ascend’s help to make the transition from our old processor. The transition was simple and smooth, and our experience with Ascend has been much more satisfactory. Ascend continues to keep us up to date with new processing trends and features. For peace of mind, competitive pricing and great service I know of no better option than Ascend Payment Systems!

John’s Xlnt Foods has been processing our credit cards with Ascend for over 5 years. Their costs are the lowest around, we should know because we have been in business for over 40 years, and I have had dozens of processors. Any problems you have, Ascend is just a phone call, text, or email away. Great customer service and great pricing. Ascend is the way to go!

I would highly recommend Ascend Payment Systems! We have been in business for 9 years and have been working with them for the majority of that time. Ascend is very responsive and professional. They have gone above and beyond with personalized customer service to get our new POS system up and running. Ascend made the transition from our old processor very easy and smooth. There was no question as to who we would have help with POS and payments for our second location. Ascend Payment Systems takes care of everything.
