COVD
Wind River is pleased to partner with COVD to provide credit card processing and merchant services to its members. While other merchant services relationships go on autopilot as soon as you sign on Wind River believes that the handshake is just the beginning of a successful, service-focused relationship.
As a valued COVD member, you are entitled to a host of benefits through Wind River:
- Discounted credit card processing fees for COVD members. Wind River offers volume-based discounts to COVD members based on aggregate COVD member credit card volume.
- On average, optometrists have saved more than $1,000 (22%) each year by switching their credit card processing program to Wind River. Your fees will also remain competitive for the long-term so you have protection from rate creep.
- NO binding contracts or termination fees. Wind River has at-will agreements.
- All participating members have an assigned Relationship Manager who understands optometry and is accessible to support you and your staff with all service-related items.
- Technology and cardholder security support from the Wind River team with deep industry knowledge and experience.

I love the fact that they’re family owned and I know who I am calling if I need help, and not a random 1-800 number. We trust Wind River and that’s the bottom line”
