Credit Card 101

Payment processing is a complicated, ever-evolving industry. The information in this section is designed to offer you an overview of the process, players and costs involved, as well as some of the major issues facing the industry today. It is our hope that by educating Merchants on the intricacies of the payment industry, they will be able to enjoy faster, more reliable, less expensive and more secure transaction processing.

Shift4 allows us to extend our commitment of security to our customers' sensitive payment card data. Shift4 protects this data by capturing it "before" it gets into our systems, yet allows us the ability to continue doing business as we have for many years. At the Ambassador Bridge, Legacy is a very important word. Using Shift4 to protect cardholder data will protect our legacy and our brand for years to come.
