Level III Processing
Blue Wave Processing is ready to assist you in accepting all cards. We have designed an excellent cost-effective program for Business to Business and Business to Government merchants. Most banks and processors consider these businesses in a high-risk category. Instead, we recognize that, in fact, these are good, solid businesses. Therefore, we created a Business to Business program that is the most attractive in the industry, with the most competitive discount rates. The discount rate your company will pay is based upon your estimated average ticket and sales volume.

One of the requirements of accepting purchasing, procurement, or the GSA SmartPay card is that your terminal or software prompt for Level II or Level III data. We will provide you with a program that will automatically prompt for all the required data.
