Before getting involved in the merchant services business, I owned and operated 2 businesses.
One was a café/catering business and the other was a Pizzeria.
I had merchant accounts for both businesses.
The funny thing is, that to this day, I still don't know what my processing rates were.
All I did know was that when I took a credit card... the money would show up in my bank account a couple of days later, minus all kinds of processing fees.
Having had this past experience of walking in a merchant's shoes has helped me become a better and more effective merchant services consultant.
Business owners have so many other challenges they face on a daily basis, the last thing they need to worry about is their credit card processing or the rates they are paying.
I've been in the merchant account services business for the last six years.
I've helped all types of businesses with their credit card processing needs, from home-based business opportunities to large national associations.
I've worked in all aspects of the industry, from business development, to sales, to deployment, to customer service.
And I'm currently President of TTG of Chicago.
We specialize in helping businesses like yours locate a merchant account.
Unlike most of the companies you'll come across in your search for a processing solution for your business, we don't just deal with one merchant account provider - in fact, we have relationships with 6 excellent providers across the country.
Here are just 3 things you should know before setting about locating a merchant account provider - and there are many others:
- Just because the Provider's sales representative doesn't bring up a fee, doesn't mean you won't get charged it. For example, there are batch fees, monthly minimums, bank service fees, transaction fees, settlement fees, AVS fees, qualified discount rates, mid-qualified discount rates, non-qualified discount rates, annual fees, contract cancellation penalties.the list goes on. Make sure you understand what you are getting into.
- Leasing is the worst way to buy credit card processing equipment. You'll end up paying 3-5 times more than you would if you bought it outright. If you can't afford a new terminal, refurbished ones work just fine. Most banks offer terminal replacement programs anyways.
- Make sure the Provider understands your business and how you take payments so your account is set up correctly. Some providers are notorious for quoting you the lower 'card-swiped' rates on all terminal deals - even if in fact you 'key in' the majority of your orders. The result - a nasty surprise when you examine your monthly processing statement.
To get the right solution - at the right price - that's the challenge.
Chances are, if we can't find you an excellent processing solution, no one can.
"The service and support we've received from Michael Rupkalvis have been nothing short of fantastic.
Not only is there no start-up fee, the rates are good and the set up was fast. We've referred all of our clients to Michael for the last 2 years."
