Unlike general web reviews, verified reviews are posted by businesses that have chosen the processor's quote through CardFellow's marketplace, and CardFellow has confirmed with the processor that the business is using its service. Businesses can update verified reviews at any time to ensure the review accurately reflects the processor's performance over time.

We have a glimpse into the management and culture of Best Merchant Rates because its sister company places certified quotes through CardFellow. The company doesn't quote pricing on its web site, so inviting a quote through CardFellow will make comparing its fees to other processors much easier. All of the Best Merchant Rates statements we've reviewed have used interchange-plus pricing, so we assume this is the company's preferred pricing model.
