National Processing Review

National Processing offers plans perfect for both small, low-volume firms and larger enterprises.

The “small-to-medium business” plans come with a low monthly fee but higher transaction rates, making them more cost-effective when not moving a lot of volume. On the other hand, they offer “larger business” plans with higher monthly fees but rock-bottom transaction rates (perfect for higher-volume companies).

Every plan that National Processing offers comes with chargeback and risk monitoring, next-day funding capabilities, PCI compliance support, a Quickbooks integration, domestic 24/7 support, and a rate lock guarantee (although SwipeSimple software fees may apply).

Some other fees include:

• PCI Compliance Fee: $7.95 per month
• AVS Fee: $0.05 per verification
• Batch Fee: $0.10 per batch
• Chargeback Fee: $15.00 per chargeback
• Retrieval Fee: $5.00 per instance
• Voice Authorization: $1.50 per authorization

Simplify billing with automated pricing features.

Expand business reach with diverse sales channels.

Overall, National Processing is a remarkable merchant service provider – especially if you intend to use it for a small or medium-sized business. Their rates are noticeably low, and their range of services is exceptional.
However, you need to be careful about joking with their contract period – especially if you want to use ‘free’ hardware. Their $295 early termination, $99 PCI non-compliant fees can quickly scale down the profits you’ll enjoy from them. But if you stay good and stick to the deal, you can easily scale your profits while expanding your growth opportunities.

Do well to acquire as much information on unpublished service costs from their sales team, before committing to the service.
