Credit Card Processing
When it comes to credit card processing, it’s easy to get lost in the fine print. You see a “low rate” advertised — maybe 2.9% or 2.5% — but your monthly statement tells a very different story. The truth is, most businesses are paying far more than they think once all the extra fees, assessments, and surcharges are added in.
If you’ve ever been tempted by the promise of “2.6% + 10¢ per transaction”, you’re not alone.
Flat-rate processors like Stripe, Square, and PayPal have made credit card processing look effortless — but what most business owners don’t realize is that those “simple” rates often hide a long list of silent fees that add up quickly.
