Why Echelon

Echelon sets the gold standard in the payments industry for stability, security, and support. Our ethical business practices and dedication to the success of both our sales partners and merchants have resulted in industry-low attrition rates and an annual processing volume exceeding $7.5 billion.

Trust your referrals to us, and we’ll apply our expertise and care, innovative technology, and world-class support designed to hone their success. We’ll secure lifelong customers and generate steady passive income for you.

“After my friend got out of a ridiculous and expensive contract with her last payments processing company, Echelon tailored a solution for her small bakery, which has led to faster, easier transactions. My friend can't be more pleased with the support she's receiving—neither can I.” -Mark W

“My referral partner network has grown into the hundreds. The passive income alone will cover my daughter’s college education, and then some. I am so happy I can do this for her college education. I am so happy I can do this for her.” -Andrew R

“Echelon makes it very easy to get and keep referrals. I currently have 15 active referrals, and I keep recommending Echelon because their support and low attrition rates make me confident that my referrals are in good hands.” -Erin A
