Our Services
Timely payments
Timely, predictable funding is critical to every organization’s cash flow. AMA works with leading processing partners to help ensure deposits are processed quickly and consistently, so card transactions settle into your bank account within standard funding windows and you always know when to expect your money. Clear, easy‑to‑read reporting supports reconciliation and reduces time spent tracking down deposits or resolving funding discrepancies.
Responsive support
Should processing issues arise, you need answers fast. AMA provides responsive, knowledgeable support focused specifically on the merchants' immediate needs, from terminal issues and chargeback questions to funding inquiries and PCI compliance. Our team provides you direct access to our processing partners support line to resolve issues quickly and keep your operations running smoothly.
Payment security and PCI compliance
Minimal downtime
Every minute your system is down is a missed sale or lost donation. Our processing solutions are built on highly available, redundant infrastructure designed to minimize payment interruptions across online, and mobile channels. We help configure fail‑safes, monitor performance, and coordinate with gateway and terminal providers so your payment environment remains stable and resilient, optimizing the flow of transactions for your customers and donors.
Competitive Rates
Processing fees directly impact your bottom line, so our priority is to structure pricing that is competitive, transparent, and aligned with your actual risk and volume. We review interchange rates, card mix, and processing methods to help you qualify for the most favorable rate structures available, while eliminating unnecessary fees and “junk” charges where possible. Ongoing statement reviews and optimization recommendations help ensure you continue to receive the best available value over time.
Donor-Driven Strategies
Protecting cardholder data is non‑negotiable. Our solutions are designed to support PCI DSS compliance by leveraging secure gateways, point‑to‑point encryption, tokenization, and hardened devices so sensitive card data bypasses your internal systems whenever possible. We guide your organization through the appropriate PCI questionnaire, help reduce compliance scope, and promote best practices around access controls, network security, and employee training—strengthening your security posture while keeping compliance manageable.
AMA works closely with their processing partners to design donor-centric payment solutions through a streamlined process and seamless recurring giving programs. By leveraging transaction analytics on card preferences and channel performance, we create frictionless donor experiences that elevate conversion rates and enhance retention, transforming one-time gifts into sustainable partnerships.
