About EPNA

EPNA has set a new standard in the merchant processing space, where pricing transparency and top-tier customer service are a priority. While many credit card processing companies focus on profitability, EPNA is committed to positioning businesses to meet their individual economic goals.

Finding a reliable credit card processor is stressful for many business owners. Lack of transparency, hidden fees, and poor customer service are common issues businesses run into when shopping for a payment processing company.

EPNA® is a registered ISO of PNC Bank, N.A., Pittsburg, PA–Member FDIC and a registered MSP/ISO of Elavon, Inc., Atlanta, Georgia, a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, Minneapolis, MN. For more information about EPNA, visit https://epnallc.com/.
