A Different Kind of Processor

Credit Card Processing Built for West Virginia Businesses

West Virginia's economy has traditionally been anchored by coal mining and natural gas production, but the state is actively diversifying — a growing outdoor recreation economy built around the New River Gorge (now a National Park), Snowshoe Mountain Resort, and whitewater rafting; an expanding online gaming and sports betting industry; and emerging technology and healthcare sectors in Morgantown and Charleston. West Virginia has some of the lowest costs of doing business in the Eastern US.

Most merchant services providers in West Virginia 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 West Virginia business.

West Virginia has fully legalized online gaming and sports betting, and CyoGate provides specialized merchant accounts for gaming-adjacent businesses and entertainment operators throughout the state.

Some of the top spots to visit in West Virginia include the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, the Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences in Charleston, Blackwater Falls State Park, and the Cass Scenic Railroad State Park. One thing they all have in common is they accept credit cards -- contact us today to accept credit cards in West Virginia.

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