OVERVIEW (PRIVATE BUSINESS)

No upfront costs and no term contract. Simply process transactions and receive the full amount of the sale on credit card transactions. 


Zero Cost Processing is available to businesses in 46 states plus the District of Columbia. Service is not yet available in Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Kansas. Maine and New York have additional terms that apply.


For $35 per month and no contract, we'll provide you with a top-of-the-line EMV terminal to process card present transactions.


For payments made over the phone or through your website, we'll provide you with cloud-based software or the API integration for e-commerce at no cost. Everything is safe and secure, keeping you 100% compliant.


When customers pay with a credit card, they also cover the 3.5% fee. At the time of the purchase, the customer is informed of the fee amount, and they are always given the option to pay with a "no fee" method. 


Customers paying with a debit card won't incur a fee - keeping you compliant. To comply with the rules, software algorithms detect when a debit card is entered and applies no fee. Standard debit cards cost the business 1.00% and $0.25 per card, while premium debit cards cost 3.38%.


SURCHARGING - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes. The card associations have very specific rules about calculating the surcharge, the types of cards that can be surcharged, and the verbiage that must be displayed on the receipt / payment checkout page. Adding a fee to all cards is a violation of card association rules and is subject to fines and penalties.


No. The card associations do not allow selective surcharging by customer as it represents a form of discrimination.


Once the card number and dollar amount of the transaction are fully entered, our sophisticated software will connect into the issuing bank and determine the surcharge in real time. This amount will be displayed before the transaction is processed.


Yes. The card associations require a registration in order to be compliant with surcharging. Our team will complete the registration on your behalf.


No. The surcharge percentage is predetermined to cover the cost of acceptance.


Yes. Our software will allow you to run reports, drill down into individual batches, and see the base amount, the surcharge amount, and the total for each transaction processed. This provides for easy reporting and reconciliation.


Payments can be accepted by using our credit card machine, by clicking on a link that will direct them to a hosted payment page, or by making a payment on your website using an API. The easiest and most common solution is the hosted payment page which will sit as an overlay on your website.


Yes. You will have a dedicated link that can be sent to customers via email and text messaging. Once they click on the link, they will be directed to a hosted payment page where they can make a payment.


Yes. Our development team can easily add custom fields to your hosted payment page at no cost to you. For example, you may want to collect a Customer ID # or Invoice #.


Yes. The CardX portal allows you to manage multiple accounts through the same portal, even if the accounts correspond to different legal entities.



Using a mathematical formula, you can create a base transaction amount to generate a desired amount that will include the surcharge.

Desired Total Amount [DTA]
Factor [FAC] = .0338 (3.38%)
Reduction Amount [RDA]
Adjusted Amount Before Surcharge [ABS]
Surcharge Multiplier [SCM] = 1.035 (103.50%)

Let's use $1,000 as a sample transaction:

Step 1
Set DTA
DTA = $1,000 (this example is using $1,000)

Step 2
Set FAC = .0338 (this is constant; always .0338)

Step 3
Calculate the RDA
RDA = DTA * FAC
RDA = $1,000 * .0338
RDA = $33.80

Step 4
Calculate the ABS
ABS = DTA - RDA
ABS = $1,000 - $33.80
ABS = $966.20

Step 5
Verify the DTA
DTA = ABS * SCM
DTA = $966.20 * 1.035 = $1,000.01

Note
Due to rounding, the DTA may be off by $0.01. If a rounding error occurs, reduce the ABS by $0.01 and rerun Step 5.

DTA = $966.19 * 1.035 = $1,000.00

By using a base transaction amount of $966.19, the total transaction, including the 3.50% surcharge, will be exactly $1,000.00

Surcharging percentages range from 0.75% on debit cards to 3.99% for rewards cards, all with a $1.99 minimum. The percentage cost will be calculated, in real-time, based upon the type of card processed.


Intelligent Rate is powered by a patent-pending technology that determines card type and cost of acceptance in less than a second. The result is a forward-thinking payment solution that provides the transparent experience today’s consumers expect.


With Intelligent Rate, consumers are responsible for covering only the costs they create, just like with utility bills and other consumer services. In contrast, a flat-rate service fee forces a consumer with a low-cost card (i.e., debit card) to subsidize a consumer who uses a higher priced card.

Intelligent Rate Pricing

Using patent-pending technology, card numbers are analyzed in real time and the intelligent rate is calculated depending on the type and classification. This allows consumers to see the cost of using their debit card or credit card prior to processing the payment. The service fee ranges from 0.75% (debit cards) to 3.99% (rewards cards).


Transaction Minimum

All transactions are subject to a $1.99 minimum service fee. For example, a $50 transaction that has an Intelligent Rate classification of 2.00% would trigger the minimum rate of $1.99 as the calculated rate would be $1.00 ($50 * .02).


Zero Cost

When consumers pay with a debit card or credit card, a governmental entity or education facility would receive 100% of its billed amount. Velocity Processing collects the service fee and pays all transaction costs.
