Voided Check Creator Tool

We just finished creating a new tool. This tool generates a voided check for your business.

When a new business goes out to setup a merchant account, they will be asked for a voided check. Many processors will no longer accept temporary checks, so we developed this too to print a voided check until you get your real ones.

Generally a merchant can ask their bank for a letter of an accounts existence, but many banks are now refusing to do this, in an effort to force customers to process with them. Since it’s perfectly legal to print your own checks, here’s our response to this dilemma.

So, if you need a voided check, take a look at our Voided Check Generator.

Updated Search Engine

The Merchant Account Search Engine has been updated. It’s been a while since I’ve added new sites. I just finished adding about 40 new blogs and informational websites.

As always, please send any recommendations of websites that should be included. Please keep in mind that blogs and websites will only be added if they’re mostly objective. Many of the merchant account blogs out there are only for self-promotional purposes, and these will not be included in the search engine.

Tool – Advanced Merchant Account Fee Calculator

A new tool is now available in the tools area. The advanced merchant account fee calculator takes downgrade and other charges into account and should provide a fairly accurate estimate of the cost of processing credit cards.

Processing Equipment Lease Cost Calculator

I finally got around to programming another simple tool.

The lease cost calculator will show how much the total cost of leasing processing equipment will cost, and will also show you how much money you save by buying equipment outright. There are about 25 common terminals programmed into it, and the price for those terminals was obtained from the equipment that we sell or one of our competitors sell. This way, I know that the piece of equipment is readily available at the listed price.
