A clear second look at what your company pays to accept cards.

Send one recent processing statement, and a specialist will read it line by line and write back with what they find and what you can do about it. The review is free, you can start without a call, and you can keep the processor you have.

To request the free review itself, email one recent statement. The form does not take attachments.

How it works

One statement, a written review, and a decision that stays with you.

You start with a statement you already have. Nothing is installed on your side, and nobody is asking you to change processors just to get the reading.

  1. 01

    Send one recent statement

    Email a recent merchant processing statement to Brent. A PDF or a clear export is plenty to begin, and you do not need to get on a call first.

  2. 02

    A specialist reviews it line by line

    The statement is read fee by fee, including interchange, card-brand assessments, processor markup, and the monthly charges beside them. Verisave does that review with us.

  3. 03

    You receive a written summary

    You get a written summary of what the statement shows and which options are worth a look. If you want to stop there, that is a complete use of the offer.

Who it is for

Finance teams at mid-market B2B companies.

We work with controllers, CFOs, vice presidents of finance, and owners. A typical company does roughly $20 million to $300 million in revenue and runs meaningful card volume, often $150,000 or more a month.

  • You want a clear reading of what the company actually pays to accept cards, from someone who is there to explain the statement.
  • You already pass a card fee or surcharge to customers, and you want the statement and that program looked at together.
  • Card volume is large enough that small differences in rates and fees show up in the monthly numbers.

Companies we spend time with

  • Distributors
  • Building and industrial supply
  • Equipment dealers and rental
  • Medical and dental groups
  • Logistics
  • Other B2B companies with similar card volume

What we look at

The fees on the statement, in plain language.

Verisave notes that a processing statement can contain 47 or more fee categories across interchange, assessments, and processor markup. A review walks those lines with you, so the monthly bill is easier to explain.

  • Processor markups, whether they are listed on their own or folded into a bundled rate.
  • Pass-through pricing, often called interchange-plus, compared with tiered or bundled pricing.
  • Interchange downgrades, including transactions that cost more because required data was not sent.
  • Monthly charges that are hard to tie to a service, and fees that may not match the agreement on file.
  • How a surcharge, convenience fee, or cash-discount program shows up next to the processing cost.
  • PCI, regulatory, statement, batch, and similar account fees.
  • Card-brand assessment fees, kept separate from fees the processor controls.

About

Our partnership with Verisave

Brent Sanders and Tristan McGraw are business consultants in other sectors. When they saw what Verisave was offering, they saw how much it could help their current clients, and how many other businesses could use the same kind of help.

They decided to team up with Verisave to help as many companies as possible. That partnership is Prospr Advisors, an independent partner of Verisave.

Verisave is a merchant-account firm founded in 2001. Most of its clients keep their current processor, the upfront analysis is complimentary and comes with no contract, and if a company asks Verisave to put changes in place, the fee is a share of the savings actually realized.

Questions

Questions we hear often

Is the review free?

Yes. The line-by-line review and the written summary are free, and you are welcome to stop there. If you later ask Verisave to put changes in place, that work is priced as a share of the savings you actually realize, for a defined term, with no upfront fee. Verisave describes that model on the page linked below.

Verisave programs and pricing

Do we have to switch processors?

No. The review looks at the statement you already have. Verisave’s goal is to keep companies with their current processor whenever possible, and most Verisave clients stay with the processor they have.

Verisave, About

What do you need from us?

One recent processing statement to start, sent by email to Brent. A call is not required. Verisave’s FAQ says a fuller analysis typically uses several months of statements, often three to six months, plus a little basic information about the business. If that would make the review clearer, we will ask. Verisave also says the initial analysis typically takes 5–7 business days after the statements are in.

Verisave FAQ

Is our data confidential?

What you send is used to reply to you and to prepare the review. We do not sell that information. Verisave’s FAQ says merchant statements are kept confidential, used for the fee analysis, and not shared with third parties. Our privacy page describes what this website itself collects.
