Why SingPayment?
Do Pennies Matter?
Bankcard acceptance is a highly complex and costly variable expense for merchants. It’s not a simple 1-rate billing model proposition. There’s a lot to consider when it comes to controlling these expenses. Look at the facts:
- Payment acceptance fees are the 3rd largest expense for small business in the US and part of Asia Pacific. For example, Starbucks spends more on payment acceptance fees alone than they do on coffee beans!
- Approximately 83% of all merchants are paying higher fees than their initial quoted rates.
- Approximately 20% of all merchant transactions are charged 50-basis points (1/2%) more than they should be, due to their billing model and transaction downgrades.
- Merchants on a 3-tier billing model (the prevailing model in the US) routinely pay about 32-basis points (1/3%) more than they would on an interchange pass-thru billing model.
- Merchants pay as much as 10% on AUTH attempts that didn’t even result in a sale!
Many Merchant Service providers promise guaranteed savings on payment expenses. SingPayment estimates that 95% of the businesses in American don’t understand all the complexities involved in payment processing/acceptance fees and end up paying more than they should and more than they need to!
