How fast can I get approved in Maine?
Most complete applications get an underwriting decision within 24–48 hours. Having your ID, a voided check and recent bank or processing statements ready speeds it up. All applications are subject to underwriting approval.
Is dual pricing allowed in Maine?
Cash-discount (dual) pricing is generally permitted in all US states when it is disclosed clearly at the point of sale and on receipts. Surcharging credit cards is different: some states restrict it, and card-network rules cap it. We set up whichever program fits your state and your customers.
Do you work with businesses across Maine?
Yes — we work with businesses in Portland, Lewiston, Bangor and everywhere else in Maine. Everything is done online and by phone, and terminals ship to your door.
Can I keep my current terminal or POS?
Often, yes. Many terminals can be reprogrammed, and online carts connect to Authorize.Net or NMI. Tell us what you use and we will check before you switch.
