Rates locked until April, 2011 for all new merchant accounts

by Neil Moncrief on July 15, 2009

Would it be easier to manage your business if you knew your fixed costs were just that, fixed, for the next 12 months? How about 24 months?

Are you tired of explaining to customers why you raised prices again? Or do you just absorb rising costs to keep customers from going elsewhere? During the next year or two, how much more will you have to pay for inventory?  How about your insurance, rent, gasoline, utilities, wages…? It’s all going up.  And with the printing presses at the U.S. Mint heading into overdrive, the sky might be the only limit for inflation.

Well, here’s one cost you can count on not to increase for the next 20 months. For every new merchant account we open through the end of July 2009, we guarantee there will be no price increases until the end of March, 2011. This applies to all 4-tier retail accounts and 3-tier e-commerce/mail order/telephone order accounts. This offer does not apply to Cost-Plus merchant accounts.

Ordinarily, discount rates are adjusted annually (or even more frequently) to keep up with the Visa/MasterCard/Discover increases. But your discount rates (qualified, mid-qualified, and non-qualified), your item fees, your gateway fees, everything will be locked. When we agree on a rate plan, you can count on it!

Even with today’s uncertain credit markets, you can know your credit card costs will remain under control.  But this offer is only available to merchants opening a new account before the end of July 2009.  Hurry!  Time is running out.
