Interchange Plus pricing is the simplest way to see where your money goes. If you are on a bundled or tiered plan, you may be paying more than you think, especially on rewards and corporate cards.

We can translate your current plan into an apples-to-apples view and outline what Interchange Plus would look like for you. If you want the numbers, we will show you precisely what you’re paying, and you can compare for yourself.

Support only matters when you need it. If you have waited on hold during a rush or lost a weekend to a broken terminal, you know the cost.

Our job is to help you prevent issues with clean setups and to be available when something does go wrong. We start with a thorough onboarding checklist and clear expectations, then remain available to answer questions after you go live.

If that sounds better than guessing, reach out, and we will talk through your setup!

Continuing our series on what to look for when choosing a merchant processor, this week is about funding times and cash flow.

Ask when batches close, how weekend and holiday deposits work, and whether same-day or next-day funding is available for your business type.

Clarify which banks they support for the fastest deposits and how long it takes to resolve exceptions.

The goal is to minimize surprises and ensure deposits align with payroll and payables. Next week in this series, we will cover how to calculate your actual effective rate, allowing you to compare offers with confidence.

If your credit card fees feel unpredictable, they are.

We review your statements line by line, explain precisely what you are paying for, and show you where the avoidable costs are hiding. No jargon, no pressure, just a clear picture of what it would take to lower your effective rate without changing how you run the business.

Want a no-cost statement review? Please send us a message, and we will set it up for you.

If your merchant fees keep creeping up and no one can explain why, it’s not in your head.

Processors often quietly raise rates over time, especially if you’re locked into a long-term contract. Add in surprise surcharges, PCI non-compliance fees, and a lack of real customer support, and it’s no wonder so many business owners feel trapped. But you don’t have to stay stuck with a bad provider.

At Tried & True, we work with clients who’ve been burned before. We audit your existing setup, explain every charge, and offer a clear path forward with no contracts, no high-pressure tactics, and no surprises. There’s a way to process payments without feeling like you’re being taken advantage of.

If you’ve ever said, “I know I’m overpaying, but I don’t know where to start,” start here. We’ll walk you through it.

Ever feel like running your business is a bit like juggling flaming swords… while riding a unicycle… blindfolded?

Don’t worry—we’ve got the safety net.

At Tried & True Consulting, we help leaders trade the chaos for clarity.

That means:
✅ A plan that actually works
✅ Processes that save you time (and sanity)
✅ Support you can count on

So you can focus on what you do best—building the business you love (and maybe keeping those flaming swords where they belong ).

Ready to ditch the circus act? Let’s talk.

"In part three of our series on choosing the right merchant processor, we’re looking at something most business owners skip over until it’s too late: contracts.

Some providers will push you into multi-year agreements with steep early termination fees, hidden renewal clauses, or even monthly penalties if you try to leave.

You deserve better than that.

A fair contract should be clear, flexible, and written in plain language. You should always know what you’re signing, how long it lasts, and what happens if your needs change.

Ask direct questions. Is there an early termination fee? Does the contract auto-renew? Can I switch without being penalized? If the answers aren’t upfront and straightforward, that’s a sign to walk away.

The best processors don’t have to trap you in a contract. They earn your business by providing real value every month.

Next week in this series: what hardware and POS systems should really cost, and how to avoid being upsold on tech you don’t need.

Last week, we talked about pricing transparency. But that only matters if you can reach someone when things go wrong.

Whether it’s a billing error, a question about a charge, or a glitch at checkout, support issues never happen at a convenient time. And when they do, the last thing you want is to be stuck in a phone queue or passed between help desks that don’t know your name.

A good merchant processor gives you direct access to real people who understand your business and can solve problems quickly. You shouldn’t have to chase someone down just to get a straight answer.

Before you sign with any provider, ask these questions.

How fast will they respond?

Will I have a dedicated contact or just a ticket number?

Who do I call if something goes wrong?

Support might not seem urgent on day one. But when something breaks, it becomes the only thing that matters.
No 800 #'s. Just your representative face-to-face, working with you to help grow and protect your business and bottom line!
Next week in this series: how long-term contracts and early termination fees trap businesses in bad deals, and how to avoid getting locked in.
