Stop giving away Your money!

Re-Program to our Processing Services


If you already process credit cards, whether it be through a machine at a brick and mortar store, by telephone or mail, or electronically through the Internet, FMS can very likely save you a significant amount of processing costs each year compared to what your paying now!

If you feel as if you are paying to much for your credit card processing you may very well be. Many people believe they know exactly what they are paying and how to read their processing statement, however, very many statements are designed to be unfortunately deceptive in this business and FMS would love to show you the truth of your costs.

FMS offers 2 options for you to switch or evaluate and compare costs prior to switching processors to FMS. You may be yet another of the many surprised merchants to find out that company you thought was great has overcharged you hundreds or even thousands too much of your money each year! Stop being ripped off, you having absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain by obtaining your free cost evaluation from FMS, no obligation to sign with FMS is required.

Option #1: If you are comfortable with our pre-set rate structure listed on our Rates page, then by all means go to the order page and we will set your merchant account up quickly and reprogram your equipment at no extra charge.

Option #2: We highly recommend this option for existing merchants. With option 2 you will need to fax at least 1, however, preferably your 3 most recent credit card processing statements for evaluation to 1-877-849-9956 toll free. Additionally, if you process over $20,000 per month in credit card transactions this option is the required method. There are quite often times where your savings may not be from the base discount rate, rather from your mid or non-qualified fees such as additional costs for acceptance of corporate cards, check cards, keyed-in cards on swipe accounts, international cards, and the list goes on. Depending on certain criteria FMS will adjust the appropriate rates as necessary to offer your business the maximum savings available.

We will evaluate your last 3 processing statements, and prepare a custom written proposal to show you exactly how much you can save, and where exactly you will be saving it, which may differ from our advertised rates on this web site. Upon receipt of our proposal you may then compare with your statements, and understand exactly how, where, and why we can save what we propose for you. Once you decide to switch to FMS processing you may then place a normal order through our Order Page or place your order via telephone at 1-888-711-0098 toll free. We will attach your special quotes to your order once received for you to receive the proposed savings.

 

Some Facts when Switching to FMS: When you switch processing to FMS you may use your existing processing equipment and/or software under most circumstances. If you already have a point-of-sale (POS) credit card terminal, we will reprogram it to work with the FMS Member Bank at which we place your merchant account. This will save you the expense of purchasing or leasing any new hardware. The only exception will be if you have a pin pad for debit cards pin entries, these need to be re-encrypted which FMS will have done for you for a $50 charge through Paragon Encryption Services. If for some reason your equipment and/or software is incompatible with our network we will notify you immediately, at which time you may either obtain new equipment or cancel your order at no cost to you.

If during the short reprogramming process or throughout your time with us you have any questions, need terminal supplies (paper, ribbons, drafts), or need to repair/replace damaged or broken equipment, FMS will be there to provide any assistance you need to keep your POS terminals up and running reliable for as long as you process through FMS.

Our customer support is designed to make credit card and check processing easier, more convenient, and more productive for you. With extremely knowledgeable support representatives available via telephone 24 hours per day, seven days per week, you'll always be able to get the answers you need, when you need them.

After switching your processing to FMS you will receive several telephone calls in the coming days, weeks, and months following your initial training just to make sure everything is going as you expected it to. Should anything not be as expected we will do whatever it takes to make you a happy FMS merchant.

Once on board with FMS your processed funds will be transferred to your own checking or in some cases savings account in two business days electronically via ACH (Automated Clearing House). You will receive a monthly statement that allows you to match your bank statement to your processing statements daily batch totals, making it easy to keep track of everything. Your processing statement will arrive prior to your account being deducted the monthly fees, giving you an opportunity to adjust your ledger prior to paying these costs.

To begin the free evaluation please proceed to our recommended Option #2 by filling out our brief Free Reprogram Evaluation Form below and fax your 3 most recent processing statements toll free to 1-877-849-9956. Please be sure that the information you enter into this short form matches the information that will be supplied on the processing statements you fax to FMS. Remember do not yet place your order if you are choosing Option #2, please allow us to give you the written proposal prior to placing your order. If, however, you are confident our normal rate structure fits your business you may choose Option #1 and place your order now.
