A Different Kind of Processor

Credit Card Processing Built for Connecticut Businesses

Connecticut has one of the highest per-capita incomes in the United States, driven by its concentration of financial services — particularly the hedge fund and private equity industry centered in Greenwich and Stamford — along with a major insurance sector in Hartford, a significant defense and aerospace manufacturing base, and close economic ties to both New York City and Boston.

Most merchant services providers in Connecticut are locked into one or two processors. CyoGate works differently — with relationships spanning dozens of processors worldwide, we negotiate on your behalf to find the best rates for your specific Connecticut business, whether you're a Stamford financial services firm or a New Haven restaurant.

Connecticut's high average income and transaction values mean that even small rate differences translate into significant savings. A financial services company, law firm, or luxury retailer processing $500K/month saves considerably more per basis point than a low-volume business — making CyoGate's rate negotiation especially valuable for Connecticut's premium business sectors.

Some of the top spots to visit in Connecticut include the Mark Twain House and Museum in Hartford, the Mystic Seaport Museum, the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, the Mashantucket Pequot Museum, and Gillette Castle State Park. One thing they all have in common is they accept credit cards -- contact us today to accept credit cards in Connecticut.

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