WELCOME AND THANKS FOR COMING BY

The subject of credit card processing is not one of the favorites of any merchant. Each month, when they receive their statement in the mail, they cringe at the fees they've had to pay for this "privilege" of accepting credit cards for payment. This blog is meant to provide a more thorough understanding of how the industry works, what makes up the fees that you are paying and how you can improve on them. So, come by often or, better yet, subscribe to the RSS feed below and you'll be notified any time there is an update.

This is an educational blog to answer your questions and guide you
to make more informed decisions regarding merchant services

YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND
Credit Card Processing Fees
And how the industry works
in order to

I'm a seasoned, semi-retired, pro and I don't need your business so this is a safe place to get your questions answered about credit card processing

Okay, here's the deal....if you're in any kind of business, providing goods or services, you absolutely NEED TO ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS or you're leaving money on the table. There are many service providers that will gladly assist you with that service.....FOR A FEE OR MANY FEES (some of which aren't openly revealed to you). How thoroughly educated are you regarding this necessary service? Wouldn't it be beneficial to arm yourself with the proper knowledge in order to be able to make intelligent, informed decisions to improve on your bottom line?

THIS BLOG IS THE SAFE PLACE TO LEARN

Let me say, first of all here that I'm not here to solicit your credit card processing business. I've been in this business for many, many years and already earn a very comfortable living monthly, from hundreds of merchants that allow me to handle this service for them. I've developed long-term, mutually rewarding relationships with them because they know that I care about them, not just their business. It's a win/win situation.

This blog is specifically for the purpose of answering any questions that you may have regarding accepting credit and debit cards in your business. Whether you be brick and mortar or click and order, I'll be able to help guide you through the maze of information that you absolutely need to understand.
