“First American has set the standard for delivering an enhanced customer experience that solidifies a level of trust amongst the businesses we serve, from small-to-medium sized merchants to large-scale enterprise operations,” said Brian Dorchester, Executive Vice President of Operations. “It’s often after the sale when you find out what kind of payments processing partner you really have. We take that mission seriously and deliver world class service to our business partners.”
