What we find when we read a statement.

Every red line is a fee the quoted rate never mentioned. If you already process at higher volume or have a complicated setup, send a statement and we’ll mark up yours. You don’t need one to start.

Start with a name and phone number.

Tell us how you’ll accept payments. We prepare the application with you, you review and sign it, and underwriting reviews it. If you have a statement, send it and we’ll compare the options first.

Pricing starts at one rate and can go lower when your statement supports it.

There are three ways to price card payments. We compare the ones you’re eligible for against your statement.

Simple Rate

One card-present rate, starting at 2.19% + 9¢ per transaction.

A straightforward price across card types. You pay the same rate on lower-cost debit and premium rewards cards.

Understand the Simple Rate

Interchange-plus

Card costs pass through. Our markup is shown separately.

Your monthly volume sets the percentage band. A per-transaction fee is quoted from your statement; total cost varies with the cards you accept.

See the IC+ volume bands

Dual pricing

Eligible credit customers pay a disclosed fee.

You still pay processing on debit and prepaid. Usually a poor fit for low average sales or a heavy debit mix.

Check how dual pricing works

* Starting rate is for card-present Simple Rate processing. No monthly platform fee. Equipment and applicable pass-through charges are separate. Your final quote depends on your statement.

Send a statement and we’ll tell you which model you’re on and whether switching would save you anything.

Common questions

Is there a long-term processing contract?

No. Processing is month-to-month. Equipment is quoted separately, with its terms confirmed before you agree.

Do I need a statement to start?

No. Start with your name and phone and we prepare the application with you. If you already process at higher volume, a statement lets us compare your numbers first: a PDF or a phone photo of any page that shows your fees. You may black out bank details; we only need the fee and volume lines.

When will I hear back?

We reply within one business day. The full review usually takes a couple of business days after we receive the details we need.

Can I keep my existing POS system?

It depends on the system. We check compatibility before you decide to switch and quote any equipment separately.

What if switching will not save me much?

Then the comparison will show it. We work it out on your own numbers, and you are under no obligation to switch. Savings vary with volume, card mix, transaction profile, and current processor.

Can you help if I’m not accepting cards yet?

Yes. There’s no statement to review, so we work from how you plan to sell, price it from our published rate, and match the equipment to your counter. Start here if you’re setting up for the first time.

What do I need to open a merchant account?

Typically your business name and structure, an EIN (or SSN for a sole proprietor), a business bank account, photo ID for the owner, and a description of what you sell. Underwriting may ask for more, and approval is the bank’s decision, not ours.

You can start without a statement.

Card-present processing starts at 2.19% + 9¢. One of us fills out the application with you, and you review and sign it. If you have a statement, send it too and we’ll compare it first.
