Effective April 2023, to support the migration from magnetic-stripe data contactless transactions to the EMV®-based contactless functionality, Visa will implement a $0.10 fee for each magnetic stripe data contactless transaction.

We recommend transacting in the latest card present methods to minimize fees and maximize protection against chargebacks and fraud. Please contact us with any questions so we can help you navigate these changes while protecting your business.

"Every year I am blown away by the faith and support of our clients and friends in the space who vote for us in this extremely competitive category. Imagine the dedication of our small rag tag team in Orlando who can year after year compete with and place higher than companies like Square (now Block with $601 million in investor funding), Stripe ($2.3 billion in funding rounds), Fiserv (who owns FirstData) with 44,000 employees and $16.7 Billion in annual revenue, and Global Payments with 24,000 employees and $7.4 billion in annual revenue. Congratulations to Toast with $902 million funding this year for number one. We will still be doing our thing as we have for the past 17 years and now 5 years running in the top taking down giants. Much Love to all who have supported us over the years and of course our exceptionally talented and overachieving team!"
