Why Finance Teams Love Centime Merchant Processing
Lowest-Cost Invoice Payments
Interchange-plus pricing ensures you pay only actual card costs plus a transparent markup. No inflated flat retail rates.
Built for B2B
Workflows
Accept payments directly on invoices, with remittance data that syncs into your AR system automatically.
Fast, Simple
Onboarding
Apply online and start processing in minutes — no heavy lift, sales calls, or complex setup required.
Bank-Backed Security
and Trust
Transparent pricing with fees netted at settlement. No hidden fees or confusing statements.
Volume Economics
That Scale
Flexible revenue-share tiers let you process high volumes at aggressive rates, without sacrificing margin.
Predictable Cash, Simple Settlements
Faster access to cash. Most card payments settle within one business day, ACH in three. Fees are deducted at settlement, and deposits are consolidated into just two per day (one for cards, one for ACH) for easier reconciliation.
Integrated With AR
Accept card payments directly on invoices and have remittance data automatically matched to open receivables. No more manual reconciliation — everything flows seamlessly into your AR system.
Real-Time Dashboard Visibility
ERP-embedded, not bolted on. Payments post directly into NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and other mid-market ERPs. This eliminates reconciliation headaches and manual cash application.
Fast, Flexible Cash Movement
Funds settle quickly, and you can transfer them out as often as you’d like with no restrictions. Keep your cash working where it’s needed most, without waiting on slow processor timelines.
Volume-Based Pricing Tiers
As your payment volume grows, your effective processing cost goes down. Revenue-share tiers make merchant processing more cost-effective at scale, so you win whether you’re running $50K or $5M a month. Revenue-share tiers mean your costs shrink as your volume grows. Merchant processing becomes a margin lever instead of a cost center.

FAQs
How is Centime Merchant Services pricing different from Square or Stripe?
Centime uses an interchange-plus model, which means you pay the true cost of each transaction plus a small, transparent markup. Square and Stripe use flat blended rates, which often means higher costs for larger invoices and corporate card transactions.
What is Level 2/3 data and why does it matter for B2B payments?
Corporate and purchasing cards qualify for lower interchange fees if you pass detailed invoice information (Level 2/3 data) with the transaction. Many flat-fee processors don’t support this, which means you overpay. Centime Merchant Services automatically supports Level 2/3 optimization, so you keep more of every payment.
How quickly will my business receive funds?
Most credit card payments settle within one business day, while ACH transactions typically settle in three. Deposits are consolidated (one for cards, one for ACH), making reconciliation faster and simpler.
How does Centime Merchant integrate with my ERP or AR system?
Centime is ERP-embedded, not bolted on. Payments post directly into systems like NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and Microsoft Dynamics, eliminating manual reconciliation and reducing errors.
How are fees shown and deducted?
Fees are netted at settlement, so you see the actual amount you’ll receive in your bank account right away. This provides real-time transparency instead of waiting for a month-end statement with hidden surprises.
Is Centime Merchant Services secure?
Yes. Centime Merchant Services is bank-backed and PCI-compliant, with fraud protection and tokenization. Sensitive data is safeguarded to reduce your compliance burden and protect against digital payment fraud.
Does Centime Merchant Services only work if I use Centime AR?
No. While Centime Merchant Services integrates seamlessly with AR automation, it can also be used as a standalone solution for B2B invoice payments. This makes it easy to start saving on merchant processing without needing to overhaul your AR workflows.
What types of payments can I accept?
Centime Merchant Services supports credit cards, debit cards, and ACH payments, giving your customers multiple ways to pay while giving you flexibility to control costs.

Although deposits are placed in increments that do not exceed the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount (“SMDIA”) at any one destination bank, a depositor’s balances at the institution that places deposits may exceed the SMDIA (e.g., before settlement for deposits or after settlement for withdrawals) or be uninsured (if the placing institution is not an insured bank). The depositor must make any necessary arrangements to protect such balances consistent with applicable law and must determine whether placement through ICS satisfies any restrictions on its deposits.
