Merchant Account Price Auditing Equals Merchant Retention

“How do I know this is really what you’re going to charge me?” This common objection reveals an industry problem: the merchant doesn't fully trust the sales person. If questions persist, they may soon move on to another company, wooed by promises of better rates.


Enter Merchant Statement Analysis’ newest service: Merchant Auditing! The concept is simple and effective. The merchant’s current rates and fees are compared with those promised on their original application. The merchant can then see that your company is providing the rates promised, is honest, and transparent.


The benefits are well worth the low price point per merchant.   Merchant retention is probably the most immediate result, as happy merchants stay put. In addition, the Auditing service can be up-sold, equaling more revenue to ISOs. This powerful sales tool is exactly what you have been looking for.

What is the Best Merchant Account?

This question has puzzled many for a long time.  In view of the last few years and the struggling economy, I believe this question is more relevant than ever. This year has had record bank failures!  And this news is not good for our industry.

MERCHANTS HAVE MORE CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEES THAN EVER!

In the last few years, I have personally seen merchant accounts incur more and more monthly fees that have never existed before.  For example: MONTHLY ASSOCIATION FEES (RETAIL)  $0.83 NYCE  $0.75 PULSE  $1.00 STAR  $0.75 JEANIE  $0.67 ACCEL  $1.25  MC annual  $1.25 MC location  $2.00 Visa FANF  $8.50  TOTAL This is like an additional monthly statement fee.  The PIN Debit annual fees are broken out as monthly but represent a $55 annual fee.   Keep in mind this is in addition to other fees that are also going up constantly. Discount Fees Transaction Fees Interchange and Association Fees PCI Compliance PCI Non-Compliance Breach Protection Monthly Statement Online Reporting Therefore no one should be surprised that everyone is paying more than ever to accept plastic.  And dont be surprised that one rarely sees these fees listed in agreements.  Maybe its in the fine print 20 pages in.  My question is what has changed from a business standpoint to warrant these con
