Protect continuity
Keep the current processor, equipment, integrations, funding flow, and staff routine whenever the existing relationship can be priced fairly.
Credit card processing fee negotiation
If your statement shows a worthwhile opportunity, SPA can represent your business in the pricing conversation. The goal is lower processor-controlled costs without replacing the equipment, POS system, integrations, or workflow you already like.
Experienced representation
Processing statements combine card-network costs, interchange categories, processor markup, monthly charges, compliance-related fees, gateway costs, and other line items. They are not all controlled by the same party, and they are not all equally negotiable.
SPA identifies where the processor has discretion, establishes what a realistic improvement looks like, and presses for better commercial terms. You receive a clear recommendation before any processor contact takes place.
Keep the current processor, equipment, integrations, funding flow, and staff routine whenever the existing relationship can be priced fairly.
Separate processor-controlled markup and fees from underlying network costs so the negotiation is informed and credible.
Review the proposed change and confirm that the promised pricing appears correctly after it takes effect.
Before authorizing negotiation
No. The first objective is to improve pricing with the processor and setup you already use.
No. SPA first reviews your statement and contacts the processor only after you provide separate written authorization.
No. Card-network and interchange costs operate differently from processor-controlled pricing. The review separates those cost categories before a recommendation is made.
Not necessarily. The review and next steps can begin in writing, and SPA can handle the authorized processor conversation.
