A bigger campaign would probably use a similar service and integrate it into their campaign site to make it more invisible to the contributor, but credit card processing is likely still done by a service like ActBlue.

When you go to BernieSanders.com and click on contribute it does take you to secure.actblue.com. So that part seems pretty official.
