The hidden tax on every sale

Where your processing money is actually going.

Processors bury the markup. These are the six places it usually hides — and what we look for when we audit your statement.

PCI non-compliance fees

$19–$99/mo

Charged monthly even if you're compliant — often for services you never signed up for. Free to fix yourself if you know it's there, per the PCI Security Standards Council.

What we look for: "PCI Service Fee," "Security Fee," or "Non-Compliance Fee" line items charged month after month.

Tiered pricing markups

1.7% → 3.5%+

Qualified, mid-qualified, and non-qualified tiers let your processor quietly move transactions into higher rate buckets — 30–50% above what Interchange Plus would cost.

What we look for: Three separate rate tiers, or "QLFD," "MQLD," "NQLD" labels next to your transaction batches.

Inflated interchange margins

0.10% vs 0.50%+

The spread between what the card networks charge (published openly by the Federal Reserve) and what you pay is often marked up 2–3× above competitive rates. On $1M of volume, that's $4,800+ a year.

What we look for: Bundled "flat rate" pricing with no clear interchange breakdown — a sign the markup is hidden.

Monthly minimums & statement fees

$25–$65/mo

Minimum fees that trigger in slow months. Plus a separate "statement fee" of $5–$15 just for the privilege of seeing what you're being charged.

What we look for: "Monthly Minimum," "Service Fee," "Statement Fee," or "Account Maintenance" — usually buried at the bottom of the statement.

Equipment & gateway fees

$35–$75/mo

Terminal leases on 48-month contracts for devices you could buy outright for $300. Plus monthly gateway fees that competitive processors include for free.

What we look for: "Equipment Lease," "Terminal Rental," "Gateway Fee" — especially if a third-party leasing company name appears.

Batch & authorization fees

$0.08 vs $0.25

Small per-transaction fees that compound. A 17¢ difference per authorization is $1,000+ a year for a typical small business — for the exact same service.

What we look for: "Auth Fee," "Per Transaction Fee," "Batch Fee," "Settlement Fee" — checking they're at competitive rates.

Quick check

Calculate your effective rate.

Most business owners don't know their true all-in cost. Punch in two numbers from your last statement and we'll show you where you stand.

%
Enter your numbersYour effective rate is total fees ÷ total volume.
Benchmarks (small/mid-size businesses): 1.8–2.4% is well-priced · 2.5–3.0% is typical · 3.1%+ means you're almost certainly overpaying.

FAQ

Common questions, answered straight.

Is the audit really free?

Yes. We only earn if you choose to switch processors and we save you money. No upfront fees, hidden charges, or commitments. And if we can't save you anything, we'll send you a $500 gift card for your time.

What if I'm under contract with my current processor?

We'll tell you when it ends and what an early termination would cost. Many processors will negotiate down or waive ETF for a switch — others won't. Either way, the choice is yours, with full information.

Will switching processors interrupt my business?

Usually no. Most equipment is reprogrammable on-site, and modern accounts can be opened in 1–3 business days. Worst case, you run on the old account while the new one is set up — no downtime.

How long does the audit take?

Most reports go out within 24 hours of upload. Complex multi-location accounts may take 48 hours. We confirm receipt of your statement immediately so you're never wondering.

Is my merchant statement secure?

Yes. Uploads are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Files auto-delete 30 days after your audit closes. Only the two principals — David and Ohad — see your statement. It's never sold, shared, or used for anything other than building your audit.

What's the difference between Interchange Plus and Tiered pricing?

Interchange Plus shows you the actual wholesale rate the card networks charge plus a fixed, transparent markup. Tiered pricing hides the markup by sorting transactions into "qualified," "mid-qualified," and "non-qualified" buckets — letting your processor quietly move transactions into higher-rate tiers. Most merchants pay 30–50% more on tiered pricing than they would on Interchange Plus.

Will I get spammed if I send you my statement?

No. You'll receive one email with your audit. After that, the ball is in your court. We don't add you to a list, share your info, or run drip campaigns.

What if my processor offers to match the new rates after the audit?

This happens often — and it's a sign you were being overcharged. If your processor matches the new rates, great: you've saved hundreds or thousands of dollars per year. You're not obligated to switch. The audit is yours either way.

Can my accountant just look at it instead?

Most accountants are excellent at tax and bookkeeping but aren't trained to spot merchant processing markups, downgraded transactions, or hidden interchange margins. That specialty work is what we do every day. Many of our clients are referred by their CPAs for exactly this reason.

Who runs National Merchant Solutions?

Two principals — David Geoola and Ohad Mizrahie. You'll deal with one of us directly, never a call center or sales floor. We're a registered ISO of a major sponsor bank and are pursuing BBB A+ accreditation.

Transparency

If the audit is free, how do we make money?

Fair question — merchant services is a sketchy industry, and pretending otherwise is dishonest. Here's exactly how we keep the lights on.

01

You upload — audit costs $0.

We read your statement, identify overcharges, and write up a plain-English report. No charge. No card needed. No catch.

02

You decide what to do with the report.

Stay with your current processor and use the report to renegotiate? Great. Switch to one we recommend? Also great. Do nothing? Also fine — the report is yours.

03

Only if you switch, we earn a small ongoing share.

It comes from the new processor's margin — not added to your bill. Your rate stays exactly what we quoted. We get paid only if you actually save money.

That's the entire model. No setup fees. No "consulting" charges. No upsells. If we don't save you money, we make nothing — and you get a $500 gift card.
