What is a credit card merchant fee audit? 

How does a business know if a credit card processing company is really offering the lower credit card merchant fees it is promising? In the Payment’s industry, a credit card processing company’s main goal is to allow a business to accept credit card payments, but at a hefty price. 

The higher a credit card processing company can set a business’s rates and fees, the more money that specific credit card processing company makes in profit on that business. This can lead to unethical and deceptive sales tactics. But what if a business could permanently get lower credit card merchant fees and not have to change credit card processing companies? 

A credit card merchant fee audit takes a look at every single credit or debit card transaction your business accepts on a monthly basis. It analyzes if you are getting the correct levels of interchange from the card networks based on your SIC code, card type, and card level. A credit card merchant fee audit will also calculate the service markup that your current credit card merchant processor is charging you and how much additional charges you are overpaying for. 

Would it not be nice to have a complete unbiased, transparent answer to how much you are being overcharged every month, and no cost or fee to find out this type of information? 

…So how can I find out how much I am being overcharged in credit card merchant fees?
