California is the largest economy in the United States and the fifth largest in the world — larger than Germany or the United Kingdom. From Silicon Valley's technology giants to Los Angeles's entertainment and media industry, from the Central Valley's agricultural output to San Diego's biotech sector, California businesses span virtually every industry vertical imaginable. The state's diverse, innovation-driven economy demands payment processing that can keep pace.

Most merchant services providers in California are locked into one or two processors. CyoGate works differently — with relationships spanning dozens of processors worldwide, we're not tied to any single bank. We negotiate on your behalf to find the best rates for your specific California business, whether you're a Silicon Valley SaaS startup or a Los Angeles retail boutique.

California has the largest legal cannabis market in the world, and a massive ecosystem of cannabis-adjacent businesses — CBD retailers, hemp product companies, nutraceutical brands, and smoke shops — that standard processors routinely decline. CyoGate's high-risk processor network provides competitive solutions for these industries.

Some of the top spots to visit in California include Yosemite National Park, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Universal Studios Hollywood, the Getty Center in Los Angeles, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. One thing they all have in common is they accept credit cards -- contact us today to accept credit cards in California.

Bottom line: CyoGate can lower the credit card processing rates of almost any business in California.
