Is Your Credit Card Machine Costing You More Than It Should?
Many small businesses don’t realize just how much money they’re losing through outdated or overpriced credit card machines. If you're seeing confusing fees, unexpected charges, or monthly statements that don’t add up — you’re probably overpaying.
Common Signs You're Overpaying
- Monthly fees you don't understand
- “Non-qualified” transactions being charged extra
- Leased equipment that costs more than owning
- Hidden charges buried in fine print
- Annual PCI compliance or service fees
Breakdown of Typical Costs
| Fee Type | Reasonable Range | Red Flag |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction Fees | 2.5%–3.5% | >3.9% consistently |
| Monthly Cost | $0–$30 | >$60 with no explanation |
| Equipment | One-time $120–$300 | Leased at $40+/month |
Why This Happens
Many providers lock businesses into long-term contracts with high fees, outdated hardware, and poor customer service — counting on you not to notice or switch.

- Request a statement review (we’ll do it free)
- Compare against flat-rate or cash discount options
