A Different Kind of Processor

Credit Card Processing Built for Massachusetts Businesses

Massachusetts has one of the most knowledge-intensive economies in the world — anchored by greater Boston's extraordinary concentration of world-class universities, hospitals, biotech companies, and financial institutions. The Route 128 technology corridor rivals Silicon Valley for innovation density, the Kendall Square area of Cambridge is the global center of the life sciences industry, and Boston's financial district manages trillions in assets. Massachusetts also has a thriving tourism industry, from Boston's historic Freedom Trail to Cape Cod's summer economy.

Most merchant services providers in Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts business, from a Cambridge biotech startup to a Cape Cod seasonal resort.

Massachusetts's legal cannabis market — among the first in the Northeast — has created a large ecosystem of cannabis-adjacent businesses: CBD retailers, hemp sellers, wellness shops, and nutraceutical companies that standard processors routinely decline. CyoGate provides specialized solutions for this growing sector.

Some of the top spots to visit in Massachusetts include the Freedom Trail in Boston, Fenway Park, the Plimoth Patuxent living history museum, Walden Pond State Reservation, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. One thing they all have in common is they accept credit cards -- contact us today to accept credit cards in Massachusetts.

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