Finding a credible list of the best merchant services companies is difficult to do. Here is a list of tips to make sure you find the best one:
1. Make sure they offer interchange plus pricing. This pricing structure will allow your company to save the most money on pricing costs.
2. They should be willing to give you free merchant equipment. The best processors must have a good client retention rate in order to be able to do this.
3. They should offer soup to nuts from mobile payment processing, to retail, office, and ecommerce merchant services.
4. They should offer 24/7 customer service. If your payment processing is down – your business can lose a lot of money.
5. The should have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
6. 100% of their merchant service offerings should be PCI compliant. This greatly reduces your risk of having your money or customer data stolen.
If your merchant service provider fails to have any of the above offerings – don’t do business with them.
