We have found that nearly every company is overpaying their credit card processors.

Managing Financial Business Relationships
It can take years to build up steady business relationships with the many players in the credit card industry. Here are some tips on how your company can better manage these types of relationships.
- Rate review – Your company can request a rate review from its merchant processor. This can help take off a few points from your company’s overall fee percentage.
- Request for proposals – By sending out a RFP, your company can gain a feel for the rates being offered by other processing companies. It is a good idea to include your company’s current processor in this request, as they will work to keep a strong relationship with your company and may potentially offer you a lower rate.
Monitor Your Merchant Account Statements
Merchant account statements can be tricky to understand. It is easy to miss added and unnecessary fees. Over time, these small fees can make a huge dent in your bottom line. Some things your company can monitor are:
- Junk fees – If the fee is labeled a “monthly” fee, then it is likely unnecessary. Some examples are “monthly statement fees”, “monthly service fees”, and “monthly funding fees”.
- PCI compliance – Your company’s merchant account needs to be Payment Card Industry Compliant. Without compliance, your company will be charged a monthly fee. Your company’s merchant processor can help your business account become compliant.
