MG Merchant Services is a U.S.-based payment processing company that provides merchant accounts and card payment solutions for businesses across multiple industries.
MG Merchant Services is a payment processor and merchant services provider that helps businesses accept credit and debit card payments in-store, online and over the phone. Based in Doral, Florida, the company offers a range of solutions such as point-of-sale terminals, e‑commerce payment gateways and tailored processing for sectors like retail, healthcare, education, restaurants and high‑risk merchants. Their focus is on providing transparent pricing, multiple payment options and fast onboarding for business clients.
A charge reading something like “MG MERCHANT SERVICES CIVICA” on your card statement typically indicates that a payment was processed through MG Merchant Services’ systems, potentially in combination with another platform or software provider (such as a payment or billing system labeled “Civica”). In many cases, the underlying purchase was made with a specific business (for example, a retailer, clinic or school) that uses MG Merchant Services as its processor, so the descriptor can include both the processor name and a product or partner tag rather than the consumer‑facing business name.
If you have questions about this charge, first check any receipts, email confirmations or invoices from around the transaction date to identify the underlying merchant name. You can also contact the business where you believe you made the purchase and ask which processor they use and how their charges appear on statements. If you still can’t identify it, contact your card issuer, who can see additional transaction details and, if needed, initiate a dispute. For business owners who see MG Merchant Services on their own settlement reports, the best route is to contact MG Merchant Services directly via the contact details on their website for support or clarification.

These are the raw merchant codes that appear on bank and credit card statements that we've identified as belonging to MG Merchant Services.
Why does my statement show “MG MERCHANT SERVICES CIVICA” instead of the business I purchased from?
Many businesses use MG Merchant Services to process card payments. Your bank statement may show the processor name (MG Merchant Services) plus an internal or partner label such as “Civica” instead of the storefront name. Check receipts or email confirmations from around that date to match the amount and time to a specific purchase, such as a school fee, medical service or retail transaction.
Is MG Merchant Services a legitimate company or a sign of fraud?
MG Merchant Services is a legitimate payment processing provider based in Doral, Florida that offers merchant accounts and card processing services to businesses across multiple industries. However, if you don’t recognize the underlying purchase, treat the charge with caution—review your recent transactions, ask family members on the same account if they made the purchase, and contact your bank if the charge still appears suspicious.
Can MG Merchant Services bill me on a recurring basis?
MG Merchant Services itself is a processor; recurring charges usually come from the underlying merchant (for example, a tuition plan, membership, subscription or service contract) that uses MG Merchant Services to handle billing. If you see the same “MG MERCHANT SERVICES” descriptor each month, contact the business you have a contract or subscription with to confirm and, if desired, cancel or adjust the recurring payments.
How do I cancel a subscription or recurring payment that runs through MG Merchant Services?
To cancel, you must work directly with the business providing the goods or services—MG Merchant Services only processes the payment on their behalf. Locate the merchant’s contact details on your receipt, invoice, email confirmation or their website, and request cancellation in writing. Keep a copy of the confirmation email or letter. If further charges appear after cancellation, provide that proof to your card issuer when disputing the transactions.
How do I request a refund for a charge processed by MG Merchant Services?
Refunds must be initiated by the business that charged you, not by MG Merchant Services. Contact the merchant that provided the product or service, reference the transaction date, amount and the statement descriptor including “MG MERCHANT SERVICES,” and ask them to process a refund. Once they initiate it, the refund will typically be routed through MG Merchant Services back to your card and should appear within several business days, depending on your bank.
What common transaction amounts or patterns might I see from MG Merchant Services?
Because MG Merchant Services serves many industries, amounts can vary widely—from small retail or restaurant purchases to larger education, healthcare or service invoices. You might also see grouped or scheduled payments (such as monthly fees or installment plans) that all share a similar descriptor including “MG MERCHANT SERVICES.” Matching each amount and date to your own records is the best way to identify the specific source.
Could a small or duplicate MG Merchant Services charge be just an authorization hold?
Yes. Some businesses and processors place temporary authorization holds—often small test amounts, or a pre‑authorization matching or slightly exceeding your expected purchase amount—to verify your card or secure funds. These holds may appear briefly with a descriptor including “MG MERCHANT SERVICES” and should drop off or be replaced by the final settled charge within a few days. If a hold remains pending for more than a week or posts as a permanent charge you don’t recognize, contact your card issuer.
How can I contact MG Merchant Services if I’m a business or if my bank directs me to them?
If you are a business using their services—or your bank specifically instructs you to reach MG Merchant Services—you can contact them via the phone number, email address or contact form listed on mgmerchantservices.com. Provide your business name, MID (merchant ID) if available, and relevant transaction details so they can look up the payment and assist you.
