We provide credit card processing services at the industry’s lowest rates and donate 25% of our gross revenue to the nonprofit or charitable organization of your choice every month.

Ethix is a full-service merchant service provider, we provide credit card processing merchant services to businesses of all types in all 50 states. When you use Ethix for your merchant services we lower your rates so you pay less in fees every month and we then ask you to choose a non-profit or charity that you wish to support. We donate 25% of our gross revenue to that non-profit every month on your behalf. We provide a way for you to take a portion of a necessary existing business expense and re-direct it to a Cause you care about.

We work with all types of businesses (retail, brick and mortar, e-commerce, service, restaurants, etc.) and support every type of processing method and equipment in the marketplace (traditional terminals, POS software systems, internet gateways, mobile pay devices, Apple Pay, etc).


We match or beat nearly all other processors rates
We provide, at no cost and with no obligation, a custom comprehensive rate analysis and quotation to ensure each new Ethix client will save money on their merchant account fees every month.

There is no cost to switch to the Ethix platform
We do not have any sign-up or application fee – we never charge you for setting up your merchant account.

There is no cancellation fee or obligation to stay with Ethix
Our contracts are “no-term” which is in essence a month to month agreement. We never charge a cancellation or early termination fee.


You can use your existing processing equipment
Most equipment can easily be re-programmed to work with our services. If your existing equipment is out of compliance we will assist you in getting new equipment so the change over is smooth and painless.

We can often cover the cancellation fee of your current provider
If your current provider is going to charge you a cancellation or early termination fee, we will work with you to cover that cost.


Our online application makes it quick and easy to apply
The days of printing applications, wet signatures and faxes are long gone. Our entire application process, including signatures, is handled online with secure server technology.

We don’t charge any hidden fees
Our fees and pricing structures are open and transparent – what we advertise is what you get. We have eliminated the “optional” hidden and ancillary fees many processors charge and only charge you the fees mandated by Visa and MasterCard with our transparent and simple to understand interchange pass through plus pricing model.
