Is There Any Benefit of Obtaining Your Merchant Account Thru an Association?

3/21/2016

0 Comments

 
The short answer is not always.  It dependents on how much the Acquire charges or not charges.  What is an Acquirer?  Read our earlier post on this subject. at the following link.  This is not to say other benefits from the “Association” are not good, I am only addressing the credit card processing.  I have talked to several businesses that belong to the “Association” and one of the many so called benefits is the lower cost of processing.  Many of these same merchants are very closed minded about considering another alternative.  The few I did get to see had good rates, but not as low as we offer.  Do yourself a favor, let us look at your processing statement and we will analysis it to let you know just how good of a deal you are receiving from your “Association”.  I am sure you will be glad you did.

​If you have any question about this, please feel free to contact us a

I have written about the many different ways the banks or Processing Companies can rip your business off taking hard earned money out of your pocket.  One of the worse in my opinion is leasing of credit card terminals.  When you lease a credit card terminal you are paying about four times of what it would cost you to buy the terminal out right.  Read more in my original post  at Dirty Little Secret Of Equipment Leasing
