If I were to create a class to teach business owners how to read their merchant statement and more easily identify what they're being charged to accept debit/credit - would that be of interest to anyone?

Great post Sue. Between junk fees, confusing interchange rates, knowing a good effective rate and more, our small businesses need this more this more than ever to make an informed decision.

It is also important to take advantage of the marketing, loyalty, review management, and analytics that can be included with their choice of processors.


Always great to see responsible transparent merchant processing agencies delivering the right news.  It is an excellent idea Sue! I am starting YouTube video series kinda stuff myself to educate merchant.

Great post! Sometimes, posts like these have a foundation in promotion but you know what? You're offering assistance to merchants that may genuinely need the help - and that's a good thing!

This is great idea! I often find business owners are not fully comprehending they're processing rates and fees because they simply don't understand how to read the processing statement. Educating them will go a long way toward earning their trust and fostering an improved relationship.

Thank you Mario. There is such a lack of understanding out there and these businesses can chew a small business up. 
I sincerely want to help!

I think it’s a great idea and would be interested to learn more. 

Instead, learn how to read the credit card statement I would show you how to eliminate all that and only read the account receivable!!!

I like the way you worded this. While I will not need your service I would certainly recommend this.
