Most processors charge the same rate for debit and credit. That's not fair.
When we started our first business, we were excited to use one of the big-name processors. Simple, modern, easy to set up. But then we saw the bill.
2.75% on every single transaction. Debit or credit—same rate. We were processing $50,000 a month, and 60% of our customers paid with debit cards.
Do you know what debit cards cost processors? About 0.5% + $0.22. They were charging us 2.75%. The math didn't add up.
We calculated we were overpaying $378 every single month—$4,536 a year—just because they didn't differentiate debit from credit.
That's when we knew something had to change.
