Leap Payments was started because we got fed up with standard credit card industry practices and inexperienced sweatshop sales methods. Our industry is filled with providers who will sell their clients a package of payment solutions that look good at first with teaser rates, but surprise merchants after a few months with hidden fees listed on monthly statements that are impossible to understand. Another tactic is to lock the merchant into a 2-3 year contract and gradually increase fees. Equally damaging is the lack of sales rep knowledge and experience, so they may not even know or be able to explain how fees are assessed.
Have you ever asked a sales rep a question and found they don’t have the answer? Or been told that a fee is not important? In all likelihood they don’t know what their selling. It takes an average sales rep 2-3 years working in this industry to really understand how credit card associations assess fees, and how this affects each individual merchant. The fee tables from MasterCard and Visa are more than 300 pages long, and no rep with a few months on the job can confidently explain how your transactions will be processed and find you the best deal.
In addition, monthly statements for credit card processing are getting more and more complicated, so unless you have years of experience as a sales consultant you won’t be able to effectively explain everything that impacts your credit card processing account.
Leap Payments employees have over 7 years of industry experience on average, so you know that you’ll get industry experts who can explain the intricacies of your account and how changes to your transactions and moving your account to Leap Payments will be reflected in your bottom line. Without professional advice, you’ll be surprised every time your statement arrives.
