Credit Card Processing for Moving Companies
A moving company may take a booking deposit before moving day, then collect the remaining amount after delivery. The office can also invoice business customers, while crews may need a way to accept payment at the destination.
Credit card processing for moving companies starts with what you already pay. Send one recent statement and a person reads your merchant account for moving companies line by line. Free, with no obligation.
Short answer
Can a moving company get a merchant account?
Yes, most moving companies can. The processor bases approval on the business, the owner and processing history, so nobody can promise approval. Record booking deposits separately from balances collected by crews after delivery. Send one recent statement and we will review it free.

Products that fit
Setup that tends to fit
Use invoicing to record a booking deposit and final balance, with a mobile reader available to crews when needed. Clear job references make payments easier to reconcile.
Some moving companies also look at a cash discount program. Rules vary by state and by card brand, so read how cash discount credit card processing works and confirm with your provider before you use one.
