Compare the total monthly cost under each model using the client’s actual transaction data. Interchange-plus is typically 20-40% cheaper for established businesses with predictable transaction patterns because you pay the actual interchange rate plus a small margin. Flat rate is simpler but often more expensive because the flat percentage must cover all card types — including low-cost debit transactions that would be cheaper under interchange-plus. We can run a side-by-side comparison using your client’s real numbers.
Yes, significantly. Processing fees are a recurring expense that directly reduces operating cash flow every month. Eliminating $1,500/month in processing fees puts $18,000/year back into the business — available for operations, debt service, or reinvestment. Combined with next-day funding (which we offer), the cash flow improvement can be substantial for small and mid-size businesses.
Key items to audit include: the effective rate (total fees divided by total volume — anything above 3% warrants investigation), hidden fees (PCI non-compliance fees, annual fees, statement fees, batch fees), rate creep (compare rates month-over-month for unexplained increases), contract terms (early termination fees, auto-renewal clauses), and whether the pricing model (interchange-plus vs flat rate vs tiered) is optimal for the client’s transaction mix.
With surcharges, the base price is the cash price, and the surcharge is recorded as additional revenue or a fee offset. With cash discounts, the base price is the card price, and the discount is a contra-revenue item. The net financial impact is similar, but the presentation differs. The choice between models can affect reported revenue figures, so consider which approach aligns better with your clients’ financial reporting goals and industry norms.
In a cash discount program, the posted price (card price) is the base revenue. When a customer pays cash and receives a discount, the discount is recorded as a contra-revenue item (similar to trade discounts or early payment discounts). The key difference from a surcharge model is that posted prices remain consistent, and the discount is the variable. We recommend aligning the treatment with your clients’ existing revenue recognition policies and chart of accounts.
Start by requesting their last 3 months of processing statements and auditing the full fee structure — not just the per-transaction rate, but batch fees, PCI fees, statement fees, annual fees, and any rate increases. No Merchant Service Fees provides free statement audits and can partner with your practice to offer processing optimization as a value-add service to your clients.
