At
Credit Card Processing Services our first priority is to provide
professional personal service to every one of our merchant
clients. So when you see that we also strive to offer you
the lowest pricing please don’t think for a minute that
because we have a lowest price guarantee that the tradeoff
is a reduction in the level of service. In fact the opposite
is true. Because of our free equipment placement programs
and the low rates that go along with it there is a much greater
incentive to make sure that our merchants remain our clients
for the long-term in order for us to be profitable. We are
both thrilled and honored that the vast majority of our merchants
have been with us for many years, many over 10 years, and
even some that have left after being enticed by a competitor
have returned to us because of our level of service.
That
being said, Credit Card Processing Services continuously searches
the Internet for offers from legitimate competitors in the
marketplace. When we see a legitimate offer that has total
lower pricing than ours we do our best to adjust the pricing
on our website. Since there are many components that make
up the pricing schedule for a merchant account we look at
the entire package offered. For example, some companies might
offer what appears to be a very low qualified discount rate
but then make up for it by charging an over-market rate on
mid or non-qualified transactions or offer a low statement
fee and then have an annual membership fee.
So even
though merchant account comparisons are often apples to oranges
differences, Credit Card Processing Services intent is to
ensure that our competitive price comparison and guarantee
are a fair reflection of the costs to you over the course
of a year. To that end we compare all of the major fees including,
but not limited to, equipment cost, account set-up, statement
fee or reporting fees, discount rates for all interchange
categories, batch fees, annual fees, etc. We will calculate
these costs based on the estimate of your charge volume, average
ticket, business type, and other related factors.
You have
probably noticed that our website provides our pricing structure
upfront in a clear and concise manner. We have done this for
over 10 years and are one of the few merchant account ISO’s
that does so publicly on the Internet. While some of our friendly
competitors have expressed dissatisfaction with the online
publication of our low pricing it is our desire to present
our programs in a professional manner rather than having to
wheel and deal like a used car salesman.
If you
do locate what you believe to be a lower priced offer either
online or from an in person sales representative and would
still like to give us the opportunity to earn your business
then we request that you fax a written copy of their proposal
and/or the completed Schedule of Fees page from their merchant
agreement or if already processing the latest 2 months of
merchant statements and the original merchant agreement to
us at 215-489-7880. We will then review the material provided
and respond to you within 1 business day with a competitive
proposal which we guarantee to be priced lower than the legitimate
offer you have received elsewhere.
Upon agreeing
to our guaranteed lowest price, we will allow you 5 business
days to complete a merchant account agreement supplied by
Credit Card Processing Services. If we do not receive an application
within this time we retain the right to rescind the guarantee.
Since we do not believe it is fair or professional to conduct
a bidding war when it comes to something as important as your
merchant account we will not be required to beat any subsequent
offers presented by the same merchant. In addition, our lowest
price guarantee is subject to your merchant account being
approved by our processing bank.
If you

account guarantee please feel free to contact Kevin via email
