Merchant Card Services

Every year, over $120 million dollars of payment card transactions are conducted across the University of Illinois System. Merchant Card Services supports the processing of all those payment card transactions for all system offices, universities, and regional sites.

Our payment solutions include credit card terminals, traditional point-of-sale systems, and web solutions. We also assist units seeking to pay persons with Amazon.com eGift codes (eCodes).

We help merchant units get started, and we oversee merchant operations, training, and compliance to related data security standards.

Our office is located in Urbana. We travel often to assist merchant units located elsewhere.
