We have been with EMS SC for many years they have always been available and taken care of all our credit card processing. I've had to call after normal business hours and they fix the problem. They are local and go above and beyond to take care of their customers. Highly recommended.

I have 2 businesses that use this company and have always been happy with their service. Like today we had a storm come through and our machine was fried from the lightning and they were there with a new machine within 1 hour. It doesn't get much better than that.

I've been with EMS Charleston for 13 years and have had nothing but excellent service. Anytime an issue comes up, and it rarely does, the team has been spot-on and resolved the matter promptly. The staff, especially Ronnie Petersen, has always been available and responded immediately.

I switched a few months ago from another processing company and have been very pleased with the customer service as well as low processing rates. My tech, Ronnie, is extremely adept and efficient at addressing technical issues. 5 stars!

EMS is a great company that’s run by great people who care about their clients. They are fair, are always available to help and when I need them I talk to a human who can help me. I recommend them without reservation. They are also locally owned and operated.
