So, what exactly is credit card processing?

It's the process that allows merchants to accept credit cards and debit cards in a number of ways.

In person.

Online.

Via mail order or telephone order.

There are front-end processors who have connections to various card associations and supply authorization and settlement services to merchants' banks. There are back-end credit card processors who accept settlements from front-end processors while moving money to merchants' issuing banks. Then, there's NAB. We are both a front-end and a back-end processor, allowing us to oversee the entire transaction process. That means more seamless transactions with fewer points of failure and a single point of contact for you.

How credit card processing works.

Your customer pays with their credit or debit card. NAB, as your payment processor, receives the payment details and reviews them for potential fraud, before forwarding them to the card association or bank that issued your customer's card. Once we are able to verify your customer's credit card details, we relay that information back to you the merchant via one of our secure, online payment gateways, who may then complete the transaction. If verification is denied by the card association/issuing bank, we will relay that information to you (the merchant) who can then decline the transaction. All of this happens in a matter of just a few seconds.
