Everyone claims to have the Best Merchant Account.  But who really does?  Fortunately, it's not that hard to determine because the answer is based on objective facts.

The Key, #1 Criteria for determining the Best Merchant Account is this:  "transparency"!

• Here's what is meant by transparency - how difficult is it to understand the actual margin you're paying for each card you take?  Most processors make it impossible to tell.  And it shouldn't be! 


• Conversely, how hard is it to calculate how much your processor is making?  The Best Merchant Accounts are so transparent, it's not too difficult to answer the price margin questions.

The 2nd Criteria is: "freedom"!

• What we mean by "freedom" in regards to Merchant Accounts is being free from manipulation!  One definition of manipulation is: "skillful in influencing or controlling others to your own advantage".  Well how's this for control ...


• The vast majority of credit card processors have an "Early Termination Fee" hidden somewhere in their contracts. Which means once they have a signed contract far too many of them use it as a license to their own advantage.  Why should they worry about price gouging or poor customer service if they know they've made it hard for you to walk away?  (That's control).  The Best Merchant Accounts are not only transparent, they're also free from manipulation.

The 3rd criteria is "account pricing structure".

• I know I mention this a lot in my posts, but whether a merchant is on "tier pricing" or "interchange plus" makes a world of difference!  The pricing structure your processor sets you up on is the determining factor in whether you pay a fair price or get gouged.


• You should ask your processor or check your credit card statement and understand which pricing structure you're on.  If it's 3-tier (the 3 tiers being "qualified", "mid-qualified", and "non-qualified") you are simply paying too much money and there's no way around it.  The Best Merchant Accounts are based on Interchange Plus.
