Auto-Debit System® - Merchant Fee Disclosures

In order to process auto-debits with the Auto-Debit System®, our internet merchant account is required. In order to process card-present-swiped transactions, our retail merchant account is required. A Cash Practice® representative will call you within 24 to 48 business hours after you join Cash Practice® Systems in order to complete the merchant account bank application. You will have an opportunity to read the application prior to signing it. This application is then submitted to our partner company, Processing Point Inc (ISO), who works with the bank. Approval generally takes 5-7 business days.

Below are the merchant account fees charged for processing payments. In summary, the internet merchant account has NO monthly fees of any kind (unlike other merchant accounts) and you are only charged the discount rate and a per transaction fee (like every other merchant account). The retail merchant account has a $9.95 monthly retail access fee. The merchant accounts also have NO contract period (unlike other merchant accounts). You can cancel at any time with no penalty. For Credit/Debit Card Processing, there is a monthy minimum of $25 and for Direct Debit EFT there is a monthly minimum of $15, however these are NOT additional fees - Just monthly minimums.

In accordance with PCI DSS regulations, merchants are required to have an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) scan their computer system. Cash Practice® Systems has teamed with Trustwave, an industry leading ASV, to provide this service for only $148 per year (for both merchant accounts). See PCI.CashPractice.com for details.
