Approval time is approximately 72 hours or less after all necessary application information is received. Once approved, we will notify you immediately.

Requirements vary according to the level of risk associated with your business. A business license is one type of item that satisfies the premise inspection requirement. But if you have different acceptable documentation for this requirement, that will suffice.

If you are a corporation, then yes. If you are a sole proprietorship, you may use either your business or personal checking account.

Technically, your personal credit score does not affect your merchant account rates. But if you have a low credit score there is the possibility that you may not be eligible.

WorkWave Payments is the exclusive integrated payment processing option for WorkWave customers, as WorkWave will no longer be supporting the integration of any outside payment processing or gateway solutions. This allows WorkWave to save on what would otherwise be the upkeep of various payment processors, and by extension be able to pass those savings onto our merchants via competitive rates and reduced processing costs.

You will be set up to accept bank ATM debit cards, Mastercard®, Visa®, American Express® and Discover®. In addition, you will be able to accept ACH transactions.

No, you do not.

In a card payment transaction, WorkWave receives authorization and passes it back to your software so the sale can be completed and a receipt issued to the cardholder. The card issuer bills the cardholder’s account and pays WorkWave, who deposits the transaction proceeds into your bank account, typically within two business days; this deposit timeline may take a bit longer for high risk businesses. Additionally, you have the option with WorkWave Payments to choose whether you would like your fees withheld daily (net fee settlement) or separately withdrawn at the end of each month (gross fee settlement); this provides your business added flexibility with the ability to choose how often you want your processing fees taken out.

Yes. You will receive a monthly statement which will have a clear breakdown of the transactions that were processed and the processing fees that were assessed.

No. This does not change your relationship with WorkWave or the manner in which any of your card transactions are processed (above or below $1 million).

No, you will not have to sign any further card processing contracts if/when your card transaction volume exceeds $1 million, since the required terms and conditions are already included as a component of the WorkWave Payments Terms of Service.

The two forms of agreement that are agreed to in our PO can be found here.

Yes, Account Updater is included with the initial WorkWave Payments proposed rate and is included at no added cost. If a lower rate is provided, Account Updater may no longer be included at no added cost and a 5 BPS rate increase may be required.

The Mobile Terminal is a POS device that allows payments to be taken anywhere by using a physical card to swipe, dip or tap; it also allows for use of digital wallets like Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay.

The Mobile Terminal pairs to the PestPac Mobile App using the internet and Bluetooth technology.

Processing fees vary by credit card company but the most secure way for a merchant to collect payments is when a customer uses their card to swipe, dip, or tap, or when a digital card is present. This reduces the risk associated with the transaction, making the fees much less expensive compared to other methods of payment.

No; the Mobile Terminal is configured for use with the PestPac Mobile App and will not work with other devices.

You can get started by contacting your sales representative. Alternatively, you can complete the form on the Mobile Terminal feature page and a representative will contact you.

When using Mobile Terminal alongside PestPac Mobile, an internet connection for both is needed.

The Mobile Terminal is powered by a rechargeable battery.

No, it does not take any longer to get paid when processing from the Mobile Terminal.

PayVus® is the program manager for the WorkWave Business Builder VISA Card, a prepaid and revolving credit card designed to help you maximize your money for purchases related to your business – like equipment, inventory, vehicle and building repairs, gasoline, and other related expenses.

A percentage of your daily settled sales is applied to the WorkWave Business Builder Visa. The percentage ranges from 15%-100%. Every business day, the prepaid funds accrue and are always applied first to purchases. If you run out of prepaid funds, you will have access to the credit line for which you were approved during your application process.

As long as you don’t exceed the prepaid funds available on your card, you will never have to make a payment or be charged any interest. If you do access your credit line, you won’t be assessed interest if you pay back the outstanding balance before the end of the billing cycle. [In most cases, the ongoing incoming prepaid funds will cover the outstanding credit line balance – but this will vary based upon your account activities (e.g., outstanding credit line balance, billing cycle end date, the average daily amount of funds loaded onto card account.)] Any month-end outstanding amount due on your WorkWave Business Builder Visa is paid directly by logging into the cardholder online account, which you can access by clicking here.
