Verisave is a cost reduction firm specializing in credit card processing fees and merchant account consulting.
Our purpose: to reduce the average credit card processing fees for merchants by 10-30% — WITHOUT having to switch away from current processors, and without having to change business processes or customer experience.
We are not a processor.
We help clients increase profitability by reducing their operational costs with zero risk, zero upfront expense, and zero disruption.
From small businesses with a single payment channel, to enterprise organizations with a complex payment stack and custom integrations, Verisave significantly reduces client payment costs and brings much-needed transparency to the merchant account.
The Inside Sales and Operations Teams meet at Verisave’s Salt Lake City Offices, January 2024.
Our Story:
Verisave started in 2002 as JTP Audit, an accounts payable auditing firm.
Founder Jeremy Layton quickly realized: every one of his clients was being overcharged for credit card processing fees — and nobody knew how to correct the problem.
Jeremy set out to gather a thorough merchant account expertise, while building inroads with processors, banks, and industry insiders. Over the next several years, Verisave had become the leading expert in credit card processing fees, and had compiled a vast database of industry fee benchmarks (which Verisave still maintains, expands, and updates to this day).
The Verisave team has served clients big and small, throughout the United States, and across a variety of industries. By providing clarity and transparency in a complicated area of business, and by knowing how to fix account setup errors and misapplied fees, Verisave brings significant money back to its clients.
The process starts with a complimentary merchant account analysis, an outline of account optimization opportunities, and a meeting to determine if Verisave can bring meaningful savings. If the client elects to have Verisave pursue any of the savings opportunities, the Verisave implementation team does all of the heavy lifting, involving the client only when necessary.
Verisave never has any upfront fees, and does not generate any added expense for clients. Verisave is paid by gain-share: they only bill for a portion of recognized savings, AFTER those savings have been realized, so every client is guaranteed a cost reduction.
Verisave offers multi-year engagements so that the client is well-informed as to merchant account trends, has access to detailed reporting, and remains proactive in the face of constant industry rate updates.
