Each processor has a complete profile detailing their company information along with ratings and reviews from merchants that have used their services.
CardFellow’s income depends on first securing the ideal processing solution for your business, and then ensuring you truly understand just how competitive your new rates and fees are.
The typical income model in the credit card processing industry is for processors to use the complexity of fees to extract as much money from your business as quickly as possible. The average merchant switches processors about every two years, so processors want to make as much money from your business as possible before you jump ship.
CardFellow’s income model is exactly the opposite.
CardFellow makes money by receiving a commission from a processor if you select its offer, but there’s a lot more to it than that.
Our income is based on securing the most competitive rates for your business right away, and then ensuring you understand just how competitive they are. That way, you will stick with your new processor because you are confident that you will not find lower pricing elsewhere.
Essentially, we make a very small commission for a long time. Today, 95% of the businesses that have used CardFellow over the past three years are still with the processor they initially chose, proving our approach is a win-win-win for you, CardFellow and our processing partners.
