Accepting card payments can help your company get paid faster, offer a secure and convenient option for your customers to pay you, and make you a preferred business partner versus the competition.  At the same time, the fees associated with merchant processing can be perplexing and challenging to understand.  We will discuss the fundamentals of merchant processing fees, options for reducing or offsetting merchant fees, and offer best practices on how your company can accept card transactions in the most cost effective manner.
