Barry,
Is there any relation of Heartland Payment Systems to providers such as SignaPay? Thanks for the update.
Thank you for the comment. Very good question. The answer is: No, there is no connection, Heartland and SignaPay are competitors. They are two of the many competing Independent Sales Offices (ISO’s) throughout the nation. ISO’s are the vehicle used by Acquirerers to market their processing services.
