Restructuring Credit Card Fees

One of the big problems seen in the credit card processing industry is when the credit card processing companies set up dishonest pricing. Their sales representatives will set a business up on a pricing structure that is beneficial for profit instead of helpful to the business.

It’s a useful exercise to restructure credit card fees that a business will pay with their current processing company.

If a business is set up on the incorrect pricing structure, the fees that are paid can be substantial. Businesses that are set up on the correct pricing structure are typically always paying less than 2.5%.

Monitoring

After your practice has lowered your processing fees, the credit card processing company will typically increase your pricing within three to six months to try and make back their profit. They often try to hide this in a fee that was not previously discussed during the negotiation.
