Dow Jones Description

The Graduate, Inc. was established February 2000 by its current President Donald Cotter and has been serving the Western New York and Erie Pennsylvania area since its origination. Its early business activities consisted of manufacturing representation, marketing, web design, and web hosting. Subsequently, during the later part of 2003, the company diversified into bankcard services, and gift and loyalty cards.

Our services include merchant accounts, credit card terminals and pin pads, virtual terminals, electronic check conversion, and gift and loyalty cards. Our customer base has grown tremendously as we offer opportunities for businesses of all sizes to maximize their profitability. The Graduate, Inc. achieves this by being the lowest cost provider of merchant services. In addition to being the lowest cost provider we strive to be the best at providing customer support and service. The company's vision has been WHAT CAN WE DO TO EARN YOUR BUSINESS. We listen to your needs and provide exactly your requirements at the lowest total ownership costs. The Graduate, Inc. places particular emphasis on hotels, retail stores, and restaurants.
