Our Processing Rates


Our unbelievably low merchant rates are not introductory or teaser rates, they are our Real rates. Compare and you will surely find our discount rates to be the lowest available anywhere for US processing. Unlike our competitors, we will not raise your rates a month from now - or a year from now, which has become common practice with some companies.. We give you more than just our word, we will guarantee our rates to you in writing! The only time they may change is if Visa/MasterCard change the Interchange rate, which rarely happens but when it does affects all processing companies the same.

The DISCOUNT RATE is by far the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR in determining your monthly merchant account costs.

Your Discount Rate is the percentage that is kept by the bank from each transaction you process. The higher the base rate... the more the processor keeps... and the more it costs you every month!

For example, if you process $10,000 per month, using the standard industry average Moto discount rate of 2.75%, your yearly costs are over three thousand dollars of your money! That is why you want the lowest discount rate possible.

With FMS you get a fixed discount rate of just 1.58% on Retail accounts or 2.24% on Moto/Internet accounts guaranteed to you in writing. We offer some of the lowest discount rates in the industry, and we stand by them. In fact, be very skeptical of advertised rates any lower than what we offer here, as anything lower is very likely a hook to drag you in, and they will raise your rates shortly after you sign-up. Using the previous example, our low Moto rate will save you $612 - and that's just in the first year!
