Frequently asked questions, answered

How much does it cost to open a merchant account? Our $99 setup fee covers the time and work it takes to get your solution set up.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is an information security standard mandated by card brands. It applies to any organizations that accept, process, store or transmit credit card information.
 
It consists of 12 basic requirements grouped in 6 categories for establishing and maintaining a reliable and secure payment processing environment.
 
Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance is mandatory for every business that accepts credit and debit cards, and these businesses must follow PCI rules and regulations. Some processors run proactive programs  to help ensure PCI compliance is maintained.
We offer flexible rental options for our payment terminals, so you don’t have to commit to an upfront purchase. Renting a terminal is a great way to keep costs low while still accessing the latest technology.
This is an admin fee charged each month for your merchant account provider’s services, such as customer support, tech support, portfolio management, etc. It also includes PCI Plus Data Breach Protection (or Safe-t).
Cost Plus/Interchange Plus pricing is a model where you pay the interchange and assessment fees plus a simple markup for the services of the payment processor. 
 
The card brand networks (Visa, Mastercard) set the interchange fee and represent the base fee or wholesale cost of accepting electronic payments. This fee is what the acquirer pays to the issuer and the rate varies depending on the industry, the type of business, if the card is present or not present at the time of the transaction, etc. 
 
The assessment fee is a small percentage that is paid to the card brands (Visa, Mastercard) on every transaction. It is a fixed transactional fee, and the same amount is charged no matter the card type or industry.
 
By passing the cost directly to you and only charging for a single markup, interchange plus pricing gives you significant savings while creating a transparent arrangement with your processor.
Interchange fees can be different from one transaction to the next. They vary based on each card type, if the card used offers points and rewards, the industry, the type of business, and if the card is present or not present at the time of the transaction. There are hundreds of interchange categories based on these variations that range from 0.80 to 2.69%.
 
Here is where you can find Visa's fees and Mastercard's fees.
