Apriva and Credit Card Processing

Apriva is not a credit card processor itself. In order to take cards with Apriva, you’ll need a merchant account with a compatible card processor. Fortunately, Apriva is not limited to one processor. In fact, they claim to be compatible with more processors than any other POS system, great news if you already have a processor you prefer.

Among their extensive list of options, Apriva marks JetPay, SecureNet, EVO, Vantiv, and WorldPay as preferred processors.
