Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our services and process.
How soon can I see savings?
Often within 30 days, though this varies based on your current contract terms and monthly volume. Most clients see immediate improvements in statement clarity and transparency, with cost savings following once implementation is complete
Are you a processor?
No—we're brokers who work for you, not a single processing company. This means we can compare options from multiple providers and match you with the best-fit solution for your specific business needs and volume.
Do you support my POS or e-commerce system?
We work with all major POS systems including Genius, Square, Clover, SpotOn, Shopify, WooCommerce, and many others. If you have a custom or specialized system, we'll find compatible processing solutions.
What about contract concerns?
We explain all terms clearly and help you avoid unnecessary lock-ins where possible. Our goal is transparent partnerships, not trapping you in unfavorable contracts. We review all agreements before you sign.
