Project:
Incorporated in 1992 as a one man operation, selling credit card terminals and
merchant processing agreements. Marc Gardner. sole owner, has grown North
American Bancard to a full service independent sales organization registered
with both Visa and MasterCard. Now the 32 largest merchant acquirer in
the United States. North American Bancard employs over 200 staff members.
supports over 2.000 individual sales partners nationally, and serves in excess
of 90,000 merchant customers and processes over $5 billion in credit card
sales on an annual basis.
With continued growth only being inhibited by current building space
constraints, North American Bancard invested $7,4 million in a 100.000 sq.
It office building that had been vacant in recent years. North American
Bancard needs to relocate its entire staff to the recently purchased location.
This requires significant investment in building improvements including
renovation of the third floor, new workstations, datacenter, backup power
generation, computers and telecom equipment and an employee break room.
