🚨 BUSINESS OWNERS — THIS IS WHY YOU NEED TO READ YOUR PROCESSING STATEMENTS.
Global Payments is notifying merchants that processing fees will be increasing effective September 2026.
And this is exactly how processing costs can creep up over time.
With some large processing companies, merchants may already be tied to contracts—and then over the life of the account, additional fees, annual charges, rate increases, equipment costs, or other pricing adjustments can start showing up.
If you're not paying attention to your monthly statement, you could be paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars more per year without realizing how much your processing costs have changed.
⚠️ Don't just look at what hits your bank account.
⚠️ Don't assume you're still paying what you originally signed up for.
⚠️ And don't wait until another annual fee or rate increase appears to start asking questions.
At ConnextPay, we believe in transparent pricing and no long-term contracts. We want our merchants to understand what they're paying and why they're paying it.
This is also why having a local payment processor matters.
