A Different Kind of Processor

Credit Card Processing Built for Michigan Businesses

Michigan's economy is synonymous with automotive manufacturing — Detroit is the global capital of the auto industry, home to Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis (Chrysler), along with thousands of auto suppliers and engineering firms throughout Southeast Michigan. But the state's economy has diversified significantly: Grand Rapids is a major furniture and healthcare hub, Ann Arbor anchors a thriving tech and university economy, and Michigan's legal cannabis market is now one of the largest in the nation.

Most merchant services providers in Michigan 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 Michigan business, from a Detroit auto supplier to a Grand Rapids furniture retailer.

Michigan's cannabis market is one of the largest and most mature in the Midwest. CyoGate provides specialized merchant accounts for Michigan's vast cannabis-adjacent ecosystem — CBD retailers, hemp companies, vape shops, and nutraceutical brands — at competitive rates through our high-risk processor network.

Some of the top spots to visit in Michigan include Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, the Detroit Institute of Arts, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, and the Motown Museum in Detroit. One thing they all have in common is they accept credit cards -- contact us today to accept credit cards in Michigan.

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