Frequently asked questions
Where do the figures about other processors come from?
From each processor’s own published terms, pricing pages and public filings, and the sources are listed at the foot of every comparison with the date they were checked. Nothing is quoted from a sales call or a competitor’s customer.
Does RapidCents charge the cancellation fees these comparisons describe?
No. RapidCents charges no cancellation fee and no early termination fee; clauses A.4 and F.1.2 of the Services Agreement say so and the Refund and Cancellation Policy explains what is and is not owed when an account closes. Where a comparison shows a competitor’s exit cost, that is the competitor’s published term.
How do I compare my own statement rather than a published rate?
Upload your current statement to Fee Check on the pricing page. It reads the interchange, the assessments and the markup line by line and shows what the same month would have cost on RapidCents’ schedule — a figure for your card mix, not an average.
A comparison is out of date. How do I tell you?
Write to [email protected] or call +1 (844) 957-2743. Name the comparison and the term that changed, with a link to the competitor’s page where you can. Each comparison is re-checked on its own cycle, and a reader’s correction moves it up the queue.
