Processing rates are certainly important but far from the only consideration. In fact, rate improvements only account for 30-40% of the savings BLX generates in Card Processing.
BLX auditors have executive level relationships with the largest card processors in the industry. We are able to bypass the entire sales channel and utilize backchannel resources to significantly reduce our clients’ rates.
We will save on rates but that’s only the beginning.
We know how to navigate the convoluted processing structures utilized by the credit card processing industry and cost optimize every single transaction.
The balance of our savings come from assuring bank and processor compliance. It may come as no surprise, but the banks cheat. The Card Processing Industry is unregulated and nobody is auditing the banks or processors. They take full advantage of this fact, altering transaction categories, which can boost their margins by 200-500%
BLX’s Merchant Services auditing staff spent their entire career in the Card Processing Industry and know how the industry works, how margin is hidden, and how the rates are manipulated to stack fees in the banks’ favor.
We average a 95% success rate in Merchant Services fees.
