What I actually do

Three things most providers can't offer you.

Most merchant reps can only do one thing: sell you a rate. I do more — I lower your processing cost, get you approved when others say no, and set you up with the equipment and tools to grow. Processing and the technology to run it all, handled by one person who has your back.

Pillar 01

Zero-cost processing

For many businesses, I can eliminate the processing bill entirely with a transparent, compliant program — and where that’s not the fit, a steep, honest reduction.

  • Eliminate your monthly processing cost
  • Free statement review
  • No surprise junk fees

Why work with me

What's different about working with Rich.

Most processing gets sold by a rep you never hear from again, working off a rate sheet built to confuse. Here's the honest contrast.

Know your statement

Three things every owner should understand.

Most merchant statements are written to be confusing. Once you know what to look for, you can read yours with confidence — and I'm happy to walk through all three with you, free.

Know this #1

Your real effective rate

The rate you were quoted usually applies to only a slice of your transactions — the rest can fall into higher pricing tiers. The number that actually matters is your effective rate: total fees divided by total volume. I'll calculate yours in minutes so you know exactly where you stand.

Know this #2

The right equipment changes everything

The tools you run on directly affect how much you sell. Self-ordering kiosks lift average ticket, kitchen displays speed up service, and the right POS turns checkout into insight. I can get you any equipment your business needs to grow.

Know this #3

Which fees are real

Statements often include PCI, statement, batch, "regulatory," and annual fees. Some reflect real costs; many don't. On a transparent account you see the true network cost and my margin — nothing hidden, so you always know what you're paying for.

Learn before you decide

Knowledge is the best deal in this business.

The more you understand about processing and your statement, the better every decision you make — with me or anyone else. That's why I put real education front and center.

Common questions

Questions owners ask me first.

Straight answers to what comes up most. Have one I didn't cover? Bring it to a free call.

What does "zero-cost processing" actually mean?

It means the cost of accepting cards is structured so it no longer comes out of your margin — through a compliant dual-pricing or surcharge program, where card-paying customers cover the small acceptance fee and cash customers get the lower price. Where that's not the right fit, I'll show you a transparent rate reduction instead. Either way, you see the real numbers before anything changes.

Is the statement review really free?

Yes — completely free, with no obligation. You send me your current merchant statement, I break down your true effective rate and which fees are padding, and you walk away knowing exactly what you pay. If your current deal is already good, I'll tell you so.

Do I have to switch my equipment?

Yes — switching to a zero-cost program means new equipment, and I provide it. I set you up with the right Clover, Square, Valor, PAX, or Dejavoo device for how your business runs — set up and ready as part of getting started, whatever type and however many stations you need.

Is dual-pricing / surcharging legal?

Yes, when it's done correctly. These programs are governed by card-brand rules and state law — there are caps, signage, and disclosure requirements, and a few states with specific restrictions. That's exactly why setup matters, and why I handle it within the proper framework rather than leaving you exposed.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

Restaurants, retail, salons, auto, medical, professional services, e-commerce, convenience — small to large, in person and online. I'm based in Miami, Houston & Honolulu and serve businesses across all 50 states. If you take card payments, there's a setup that fits.

How fast can I get set up?

Most merchants are live within days of approval. The free review takes about 15 minutes, and from there I handle the setup and stay your point of contact for support afterward.

Fifteen minutes. Your statement. The truth.
