Merchant Account Rates

Research reveals that when seeking merchant accounts, business professionals should evaluate the "entire picture" of processing costs involved as they seek a merchant services solution for credit card processing. Some of these costs include:

• Processing rates


• Terminals and software fees


• Monthly minimums


• Equipment warranties


• Annual fees


• Application fees


• Cancellation fees


• Supply costs, etc.

It is strongly advised that one obtain a complete contract from the processor to match their total costs against others and not to simply make a decision on processing rates. This is the only comprehensive way to do a complete comparison.
