  • Agent Bank – Can be the complete outsourcing solution or a modified version.  Granite holds all liability for any merchant referred or assigned to Granite and is responsible for all up-front services and back-end processing and support. 

  • Granite offers two Referral Program Payment Options: 

  • Standard Referral Program--Monthly residual of 25% of net monthly processing revenue; bank simply refers prospective clients to Granite and they do the rest, and;

  • Revenue Sharing Program--Bank and Granite share 50/50 in net revenue generated between Granite’s actual processing costs and rates/fees charged to merchants; bank provides merchant statements to Granite for analysis; program can be customized to fit the specific needs of you and your merchant clients.

  • Associate Bank Processing. Your bank holds the liability and provides all up-front service including solicitation, pricing, underwriting and implementation.  Granite provides back-end processing for your bank and offers full 24/7 help desk services for your merchants.

7. Peer References. Granite delivers innovative merchant credit card and check processing services to  financial institutions and their merchant customers nationwide, providing the back room for merchant processing and authorization/data capture services. Granite’s client list includes WIB members who are willing to act as references for their programs.
