Is Valmar located in Los Angeles?
No. Valmar is headquartered in Williamsville, New York, just outside Buffalo, and we serve merchants in Los Angeles and throughout California. Our underwriting and support teams are all US-based.
Does Valmar provide merchant accounts for ecommerce and subscription businesses in Los Angeles?
Yes. Apparel, beauty, supplement, and subscription brands are frequently classified high-risk because of chargeback and refund exposure — automated platforms like Stripe or Square will often approve them and then close the account after review. We underwrite the account properly at the outset, with your product catalog, fulfillment timelines, billing descriptors, and refund and cancellation policies disclosed to the sponsoring bank.
Can you help if my business is considered high-risk?
High-risk and complex payment processing is one of Valmar's areas of expertise. We understand that businesses rejected by mainstream processors may still be legitimate, successful businesses that simply require the right underwriting and banking relationships.
Approval is never something a responsible processor should blindly guarantee, but we'll take the time to understand your business and determine what options are available.
Can Valmar review my current processing rates?
Yes. If you're already accepting cards, we can review your existing processing statement and help you better understand your current pricing and payment setup.
Can you help if I've been dropped by another payment processor?
If you've experienced account termination, processing restrictions, or difficulty getting approved, talk to us. We'll learn more about your business and determine what processing options may be available.
Do I need to be a high-risk business to work with Valmar?
Not at all. We support businesses with straightforward payment needs as well as merchants with more complicated processing environments.
Can Valmar support multi-location businesses across Los Angeles?
Yes. Multi-location retail, restaurant, and service businesses need consistent pricing, unified reporting, and terminals or POS integrations that behave the same at every site. We set up multi-location accounts so you can see performance by location without managing separate processor relationships.
What areas of Southern California does Valmar serve?
Valmar provides payment processing services to businesses throughout Los Angeles County and Southern California, including Downtown LA, Hollywood, Santa Monica, Long Beach, Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Torrance, Anaheim, Irvine, and surrounding communities. As a nationwide payment processor, we can support businesses across the entire state of California.
