Too many merchants are focused on a lower Discount Rate (processing fee) and processors intentionally get them to focus on that, all the while hitting them with hugely inflated back end surcharge fees. My company specializes in educating merchants about the True Costs of processing (to dispell the myth of "lower Rate) and provides full disclosure on all pricing including surcharges to provide the best overall solution for our clients. If you'd prefer a company that earns its business from a more ethical perspective and provides education, consultation, excellent service and full disclosure on all pricing, please contact me and I'll be happy to provide client references.

I'm really looking for 'per transaction cost' as my transactions are small and frequent, while my over all total is not.. do I have the right?

Have been in the business 10 years and this blog is the absolute best. I will show this to my sales people, preach this to my sales people, because it is the truth. Now if customer will only open their ears and minds and get over the "Best Discount Rate Available" lie that they hear over and over. Excellent article.

I have been in this industry for over two years and pretty much everything people hate about merchant services is why I started. I was lied to, fees were hidden, and don't even get me started about my lease! My rep never answered after she signed me up and i never got anywhere with the corporate office. I have never been a blog guy until now! I will start sending all of my clients here so that they cna see the things that i am telling them are true! Thank you so much for this!
