About Payment Depot
The credit card processing industry isn’t exactly transparent. Below, we uncover how the industry works and what Payment Depot is doing to save you money. Payment processors make money by marking up the fees charged by credit card networks like Visa and Mastercard. Think of it this way: the fees of Visa and Mastercard are the wholesale costs of payment processing. Your credit card processor then adds their fees on top of those wholesale rates to make a profit. With traditional credit card processing, the payment processor takes a cut out of every transaction, so the more sales you process, the more they profit. Payment Depot saves you money by giving you access to wholesale rates. Unlike traditional payment processors, we don’t profit by marking up interchange rates and we don’t take a cut of your sales.
