Guardian wasn't founded by bankers, huge corporations, or Silicon Valley hotshots. We were founded by small business owners who (after going through 10 processors in a 20-year period) were fed up with "business-as-usual." Hidden fees, misleading sales tactics, and undisclosed contracts run rampant in the payment systems industry. The reason we exist is to restore trust in a broken industry, prove there is a processor who will honor their work, and put your best interests first.
