All About MIDs

Where we’ve been, what we’re doing and where we’re going.

What is a MID?

In industry parlance, a MID is a merchant Id. And merchant ID’s is what we do.

Where we’ve been:

MIDs is owned and operated by industry experts who date back to the DMR days in 1997. DMR was the first, and largest, online payment processor and at that time, little other than adult was on the internet; one dial-up pixel at a time. Being that this was the dawn of payment processing online, Visa hadn’t even established chargeback thresholds yet. Well, they did in 98 and 5% was the number they chose. While it may seem like a dream come true now, that number was not attainable for many merchants and DMR went out of business. From there it was on to IPSP Jettis for 5 years, before the establishment of SpurLead in 2008. SpurLead still operates today as a specialized consulting business for merchants who have been TMF’d or have other highly specialized processing issues.

What we’re doing:

While we started in the US and the majority of our business continues to be within this market, with a headquarters in Los Angeles, we’ve long known commerce is global.

We’ve processed in the LATAM and European markets for years and have decided to expand our footprint by opening a location in Valencia, Spain.

In addition, we’re expanding into other markets such as the MENA and APAC regions. High-risk merchant accounts remain our specialty but we’ve also added low-risk options along the way.

Our US operations continue to grow rapidly while we expand into new, and exciting, emerging markets.

Where we’re going.

Worldwide? We’re well on our way.

Our US operations continue to grow rapidly while we expand into new, and exciting, emerging markets.

We’re looking for creative, established merchants that wish to secure their current processing, while also embarking on new and exciting regions like MENA and APAC.
