CP Saving Consultants
10 Minutes Could Save Your Business Thousands of Dollars
Why You Are Likely Overpaying
The processing industry is confusing, complex and often deceiving, making it easy for processors to grossly overcharge merchants each month without the merchant even realizing it. Often business owners can’t understand their own statements, despite being a major expense, and are unaware of what a competitive rate looks like. Some processors will quote a low rate before signing a customer, but will not disclose hidden fees and other charges.
What We Do
CP Saving Consultants is an independent consulting firm helping businesses save thousands of dollars on credit card processing fees. We analyze a client’s current fee structure. If the rate is not extremely competitive, we will negotiate a competitive market rate with the client’s existing processor. A benefit of our service is the vast majority of clients do not have to go through the hassle of switching processors.

Why You Want Interchange Plus
There are two main rate structures: “Interchange Plus” and “Tiered Pricing”. Interchange Plus is a wholesale rate (Interchange) plus a markup for the processor. We recommend Interchange Plus with a modest markup because it is the most transparent, fairest, and least expensive option. Interchange Plus used to be exclusively available to large businesses, but due to heightened competition among processors, is now offered to all businesses.
What you do not want is “Tiered Pricing”, where processors charge different rates for various categories such as Qualified, Mid-Qualified, and Non-Qualified. If you see those on your statement, then you have Tiered Pricing and are probably overpaying. Processors like to quote the lowest tiered rate during a sales presentation and conveniently fail to mention the more expensive rates, resulting in higher fees than the initial low quote. The bottom line is with Tiered Pricing there is a lack of transparency which enables high fees and a large markup for the processor.

Our Fee
Our only fee is 20-30% of the first year’s annual savings achieved, which is below our competitor's rates. If there is no savings, there is no fee. If processing revenue is over $500,000 per year, the fee is 20% and if less, the fee is 30%. The client keeps 100% of the savings in all future years. After we review the first statement with the new lower fees, we will email an invoice.
Independent, Unbiased Consultants
We are not affiliated with and do not represent any credit card processors and are truly independent. We receive no form of compensation from processors. Our clients are the first and only priority.
