For too long, businesses in the fi****ms industry have been hit with predatory pricing and labeled “high-risk” just as an excuse for processors to pad their own pockets. At Kelley & CO Strategies, we call bu****it.
You deserve a partner who respects your industry and your bottom line. We operate on a Merchant Bill of Rights built on:
• True Wholesale Pricing: No enterprise-only secrets. You get the same rates as the big guys. 
• Zero-Cost Solutions: Compliant Dual Pricing that keeps your margins where they belong. 
• Integrity-First Education: We cut through the “fluff” and give you the facts. 
Your business isn’t a “risk”—it’s a cornerstone of our community. Let’s get your processing costs back on target. 🎯

At Kelley & Co Strategies, we do things a bit differently. We know that most business owners are tired of the "bait and switch" in payment processing. That is why we lead with wholesale rates and total transparency. Whether you are running a retail shop or operating in a high risk industry that other processors won't touch, we have the specialized systems to keep your payments moving.

Beyond just processing, we offer full point of sale setups and business funding to help you bridge the gap to your next goal.

Since it is February, I am doing something extra for my clients. I am offering FREE terminals for qualified businesses throughout the rest of the month. If you want to see how much you could be saving, I also offer free rate comparisons. Just send over a recent statement and I will show you the math.

Drop a comment or send me a message if you want to see if your business qualifies for a free terminal this month.

To the CPAs and Accountants: Are your clients merchant statements a "black box"? Explore

Most business owners look to you for financial clarity, yet payment processing is often the most confusing and opaque line item on their P&L.
When your clients are overpaying or out of compliance, it’s a leak in the EBITDA you're working hard to grow.
We offer a strategic partnership designed to make you the hero:
• Transparent Audits: We provide clear, line-by-line reviews you can actually use for accurate forecasting.
• Risk Mitigation: We handle the PCI compliance headaches that keep business owners (and their tax pros) up at night.
• Referral Synergy: We treat your clients with the same high-level professional standards you do.

Let’s add a specialized layer of value to your practice. DM us to discuss how a strategic partnership can benefit your clients bottom lines AND your firm’s value proposition.

Most business owners don’t realize this:

If your business accepts credit cards, PCI compliance is not optional.

Non-compliance can result in:
• Monthly non-compliance fees
• Hefty fines after a data breach
• Liability exposure
• Increased processing costs
• Account termination

The worst part?
Many processors never explain it, yet still charge for it.

We take a different approach.

We help our clients:
✔ Understand PCI compliance in plain English
✔ Complete it properly
✔ Avoid unnecessary penalties
✔ Stay protected year-round

If you’re unsure whether you’re compliant, or you’re just paying a fee every month without knowing why, it’s time for a second look.

Protect your business before there’s a problem.

One thing many business owners don’t realize during the holiday season: processing rates often increase quietly around October.

As volume picks up, higher fees are easier to overlook and most owners assume the increase is simply due to running more transactions. By the time business slows down again, the “new normal” has already been accepted.

This happens far more often than people think.

The holidays are busy enough without worrying about whether your payment setup is still costing you more than it should.

DM us if you’d like a quick, no-pressure review of your processing before years end. Even a small adjustment can make a meaningful difference.

Stop letting processing fees eat 3-4% of your bottom line. There is a better, transparent way. Enter Dual Pricing.
It’s not about hiding fees. It’s about clarity.
By displaying both a cash price and a card price at the point of sale, you give the power back to the customer. They choose: pay with cash for a discount, or pay a small convenience fee to use their card.
✅ The result for you? You keep 100% of your sale price. Your processing bill goes down to your zero.
✅ The result for the customer? Honest, upfront pricing and a choice.
It’s compliant, it’s transparent, and it’s becoming the new standard for small businesses.

When your terminal slows down, freezes, or holds up customers… your revenue takes the hit.
Most of the time, it’s due to outdated hardware or systems that weren’t built for today’s payment standards.

We support a wide selection of solutions from Dejavoo, PAX, Ingenico, Clover, SkyTab, Quantic, to many additional terminal and POS platforms across the industry.

Whether your business needs a simple, fast payment terminal or a fully-featured POS, we will help you choose the right fit without overpaying for what you don’t need.
