WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Credit card processing can be viewed as a necessary evil, but it doesn’t have to be. Most merchants have had at least one negative experience with a “credit card salesperson”. They were promised a certain rate but at the same time, they were told that they needed to lock into an ironclad agreement of one, two, or three years. Buried deep within the fine print of that agreement is language that allows the processor to increase rates over the next several months. They also make the merchant sign an “early termination fee” which means if you try to leave, they hit you with a severe fine which could be hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars.
