The merchant bank that issues you a Merchant Credit Card Account contracts with a processor to handle credit card processing for it. The Prism Pay Software payment gateway provides a “bridge” between the merchant’s website (using a secure Internet connection from the merchant’s website to Prism Pay Software) and the processor (using leased lines from Prism Pay Software to the processor).
