Understanding Credit Card Processing Fees

How Payment Processing Fees Are Calculated

Credit card processing fees consist of three components. Understanding them helps you evaluate pricing and avoid hidden costs.

Interchange Fees

Set by Visa/Mastercard. Paid to the card-issuing bank. Non-negotiable—everyone pays the same wholesale rate.

Assessment Fees

Small fees paid to the card networks (Visa, MC, Amex). Typically 0.13-0.15%. Also non-negotiable.

Processor Markup

The processor's fee for services. THIS is negotiable. Flat-rate processors hide markup; we show it transparently.

With interchange-plus pricing, you pay wholesale interchange + a small, visible markup. With flat-rate pricing (like Square's 2.6%), you pay a bundled rate that often includes hidden markup. Most businesses save 20-30% switching from flat-rate to interchange-plus.

Payment Processing FAQs

Common Questions About Credit Card Processing

What is payment processing?

Payment processing is the system that enables your business to accept credit cards, debit cards, and digital payments from customers. When a customer pays, the transaction is routed through payment networks (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) to verify funds, authorize the purchase, and deposit money into your bank account—typically within 1-2 business days.

How much does credit card processing cost?

Credit card processing fees typically range from 1.5% to 3.5% per transaction, depending on your industry, card types accepted, and processing volume. Our interchange-plus pricing ensures you pay wholesale rates plus a small, transparent markup. Most businesses save 20-30% compared to flat-rate processors.

How long does it take to get approved?

Most standard businesses are approved within 24-48 hours. High-risk industries may require additional underwriting and take 3-5 business days. Once approved, equipment ships same-day and you can begin processing immediately upon arrival.

What equipment do I need to accept credit cards?

That depends on your business type. Retail locations typically need a countertop terminal or full POS system. Service businesses benefit from mobile card readers. Online stores need a payment gateway. We'll recommend the right solution based on your specific needs—equipment is often provided free with your merchant account.

Can you process high-risk transactions?

Yes. We specialize in high-risk merchant accounts for industries like CBD, nutraceuticals, gaming, adult entertainment, and more. Our banking relationships are specifically designed for businesses that traditional processors decline.

What about chargebacks and fraud protection?

Our processing includes built-in fraud detection and chargeback prevention tools. For higher-risk merchants, we offer Midigator integration for early chargeback alerts and dispute management. Proactive protection keeps your chargeback ratio healthy and your account stable.
