Why we started CPS
Centurion Payment Services (CPS) was founded with a simple belief: businesses deserve honest, transparent credit card processing. Too many merchants were being overcharged, misled by complex fee structures, and left without support when they needed it most.
By partnering directly with the first and second largest processors in the United States, CPS gained the buying power of Fortune 500 companies — and we use that power exclusively to benefit our clients, offering the lowest guaranteed rates in the industry.
Today, CPS serves businesses of all sizes and risk levels across the continental United States, from boutique retailers to high-risk e-commerce merchants. Low Risk — High Risk — All Risk.
