This system merges seamlessly with your virtual payments for a clean, easy-to-use experience.

Secure, Safe and Trusted

• PCI Compliant — eMerchant is Payment Credit Card Industry (PCI) Compliant, so we must keep up to date with the latest data security standards.
• EMV-Focused — eMerchant is a proponent of the EMV (Europay, MasterCard, Visa) movement, which is the movement behind integrated microprocessor chips. We believe that EMV cards are one of the ways to a safer, more secure way to accept payments online.
• Payment Tokenization— Payers’ information will be safe and secure with this technology, which creates a numeric substitute for a primary account number in order to deter third parties from obtaining financial information. Payment tokenization is also very helpful for making recurring payments for students on tuition payment plans.
