Mobile Credit Card Processing
We are stuarting up a business that would like to take credit card payments but do not want to pay too much to a processing company. There seem to be so many options. I am looking for the best way to take a card number either online or over the phone and make it happen.

There are literally hundreds and hundreds of companies that will offer you credit card processing options. However, with majority of these companies there is always some form of a catch or many hidden fees. Additionally, many of these companies are simply subsidiary companies of other processing companies, meaning that every company sandwiched between you and the “actual Merchant Service Provider (MSP) are charging you a percentage / fee.
I have used a few different processing companies over the years and have been most pleased with the service provided by National Merchant Bank Card. http://www.SaveMoneyProcessing.com/cc1485
They have out standing customer support whenever I have called and are clear with their fee schedule. They also provide several different options, including bundling, so that you can pick what is best for your business.
I hope this helps and be careful with your selection, it’s not only your profits but ultimately your customer’s satisfaction that is at stake.

Avoid paypal. That is the sure sign of part time business. You might check with your bank to see if they work with anyone. Merchant accounts do take a lot but it is better the hiring an AR person.
