Getting the best rate on a credit card merchant account will require some time in shopping around. You should also look for a company that you feel will provide great customer service. Many problems can arise like broken equipment, out-dated software, new rules, risk issues, etc. You need a company that is there to help you in a crisis. Customer service should be available 24 hours a day.

Understand your contract before signing it. Be sure to use a company that will take time to go over the contract and explain the details. Most credit card merchant account contracts have a 12-24 Month term, very similar to a cell phone contract. Understand the terms of any free equipment provided by the credit card processing company. Most free equipment must be returned when you close your account.

If you have any questions on getting a credit card merchant account, please feel free to give me a call.

Although it looks like the credit markets may be stablizing, the Federal Reserve lowered the rates on Wednesday, and have pumped billions into the banks to lend, the bottom line in the consumer is not spending. The official “Recession” has not been called yet, but the GDP is down to levels not seen since 2001 and short of any more bank failures, the next big scare will be the Official Recession.

Christmas spending is projected to be light and the news should be filled with lay-offs and job cuts. The seasonal economic slow down in January/February 2009 will also make things rather hard to swallow.

Saving money on credit card processing rates and fee’s has never been more important. Business owners are currently rushing to cut-cost and prepare for the slow months ahead. Your merchant account statements are a great place to look for savings. Many times these statements are simply filed away and never looked at. You may be able to save hundreds of dollars, if not thousands on your credit card processing costs. Why pay more ????

We can beat any rate on credit card processing. We currently have a special program for merchants processing over $30,000 per month. This program will allow special pricing that in the past was only offered to large corporations, like Wal-Mart. Regardless of the size of your business, we can help.

Please grab your statements immediately and give me a call.

One solution to this problem would be to add a Wireless Terminal, so the credit card can be “Swiped” at the customers door, so that the transaction would be a Qualified “Swiped” Transaction. Another solution would be to set-up the merchant as a “Phone-Order” business, so the merchant is Quailfied To Key Transactions. Keep in mind the qualified rate would be slightly higher that the retail rate.

A fast audit of your credit card processing statements can determine the best route to save you money. If you have any questions, please grab your current statements and give me a call. I’m confident that we can save you money on your credit card processing fees.
