Payment processing is a business service, not funding. Card processing costs can quietly add up, and a review of your setup may help more of each sale stay with you. We help you understand your statement and explore options that may fit better.
What this means: A review of how you accept card payments and what it costs you.
New to these words? See the glossary. Every decision and every term comes from the lender.
Most businesses accept cards, and most owners have not looked closely at their processing statement since the day they signed up. Fees can come from several directions: per-transaction charges, monthly fees, equipment leases, PCI compliance fees and more. Small differences multiply across hundreds or thousands of transactions.
A review does not mean you have to switch. Sometimes the right move is simply understanding what you pay and why.
Processing statements are notoriously hard to read. Common pricing models include flat rate, tiered and interchange-plus. Each one presents costs differently, which makes comparisons tricky.
When we review a statement, we look at the pricing model, the total effective cost compared to your monthly card volume, any equipment lease terms, contract length and early termination fees. Then we explain what we found.
A better fit might mean clearer pricing, equipment you own instead of lease, a point of sale system that matches how you work, faster deposits, or support that answers when you call. For restaurants, retail and service businesses, the right setup can also make daily operations smoother.
Before switching, it is important to check your current contract for early termination fees and equipment obligations so there are no surprises.
Before you sign with any processor, ask what pricing model they use and request a sample statement. Ask whether equipment is purchased, rented or leased, and what the lease term is. Ask about contract length, early termination fees, monthly minimums, PCI compliance charges and how quickly deposits reach your bank account. Ask who you call when a terminal stops working on a Saturday night.
Write the answers down and compare them side by side. Clear answers are usually a good sign. Vague answers are worth a second look.
Your card processing history can also matter for some funding options. Steady card volume and deposits help with working capital and revenue-based lines of credit. Keeping processing and banking clean and consistent makes those conversations easier later.
Send us a recent processing statement and we will walk through it with you. If a different setup may fit better, we will explain the options and the tradeoffs. You are never obligated to change anything. When it feels right, use the form below or call us.
