Processing

The trade that makes the funding cheap.

Your card processing runs through Lombard — that's the deal. Remittance from settlement keeps our losses low, and low losses are why the funding is about half the cost of a broker-sourced advance.

How your switch works

Switching your processing to Lombard is a person doing the work properly. The whole event should be a calendar entry, not a story.

  1. 1

    Approval first

    Your new processing account is underwritten and approved while your current setup keeps running. Nothing changes at the counter yet.

  2. 2

    Hardware staged and tested

    Your terminals are Lombard’s own — configured for our rails and shipped to you by us, ready to take a card. A test transaction settles end to end before anything switches. If hardware ever needs swapping, it’s our problem, not yours.

  3. 3

    Cutover at a quiet hour

    The moment of switch is choosing which terminal takes the next card. Minutes, not days — nothing left to chance on a busy Saturday.

  4. 4

    Pricing in writing, throughout

    Your pricing for your volume and card mix, in writing before you sign — including exactly what it would cost you to leave. And remittance comes out of settlement, not your bank account.

Processing rates aren't published here yet — publishing them requires our registration with the processing partner to be confirmed. Until then, pricing is individual and in writing, before you sign anything.

A better rate alone isn't worth a switch

If all we offered was a slightly better rate, we wouldn't ask you to move. The advance is worth moving for — and once you're here, you finally see what every sale actually costs you.
