Merchant Statement Analysis for Smarter, Cheaper Credit Card Processing
Merchant statement analysis is a powerful service for uncovering hidden fees, inefficiencies, and savings opportunities buried in your credit card processing data. Whether you're in retail, healthcare, ecommerce, or service industry, understanding your statement is the first step toward smarter, more profitable payment processing.
What is a Merchant Statement Analysis
Every business that accepts credit cards pays processing fees—but most don't truly know what they're paying. Many assume their rates are competitive, until they see a full breakdown. Merchant account statements are often filled with hidden markups, vague rate labels, and confusing fees, making it almost impossible to understand your actual costs. Our merchant statement analysis breaks down these complex monthly statements, line by line. Merchant Statement analysis provides expert audit that uncovers hidden costs, identifies overcharges and poor rate structures, and brings complete clarity to your processing expenses. With this clear fee breakdown, you'll be empowered with the facts and control you need to know whether to negotiate, optimize your current setup, or confidently explore other options—all without the need to switch providers or disrupt operations unless it's truly in your best interest.
Understand What You're Really Paying For
Hidden Fees Add Up Faster Than You Think
Even a few extra basis points or misclassified transactions can cost your business thousands per year. You might not notice them at first: a downgrade here, a "non-qualified" rate there, or an interchange markup disguised under complex terminology. But over time, these small fees add up to serious money. Our analysis helps you uncover these often-overlooked charges—from interchange padding to mid-qualified downgrades—giving you the clarity and facts you need to take control of your processing costs.
Pricing Models Are Not Created Equal
Tiered pricing, flat rate, Interchange Plus… which one are you actually on? Many businesses don’t know—and that’s how overcharging goes unnoticed. We explain the difference and show how your current pricing compares, so you can decide what’s right for your business model.
Better Decisions Start with Better Data
From interchange optimization to surcharge strategy, we help you make informed decisions that protect your profit margins. Our analysis provides the clarity you need to ensure you're paying only for what's truly necessary, revealing exactly how your costs stack up against similar businesses. With a clear picture, you’ll know whether to negotiate, optimize, or switch.
Our Approach
We combine expert review with proprietary tools to deliver a clear picture of your current payment processing setup. Our analysis goes through your merchant statement line by line to expose where you're overpaying, often by thousands of dollars each year without you even realizing it. You'll see exactly how much you're losing and where there's significant room to save. Built for agents, ISOs, and businesses who want actionable insights, our service is completely unbiased. We don't resell services or push providers; we simply deliver clean, honest analysis you can trust.
Our goal is simple: deliver clarity. If you’re a business owner, that means understanding what you’re paying and why—so you can choose to stay with your current provider, renegotiate, or consider alternatives. If you're an ISO or agent, our analysis supports your conversations with clients, backed by data that builds trust and improves conversions. Either way, you get real insights, grounded in your actual data—not guesses or estimates.
