It’s easy for payment processing fees to slip under the radar. Without careful monitoring, businesses can overpay thousands of dollars annually. Small overlooked details—like outdated contracts, hidden surcharges, or inefficient transaction routing—add up quickly.

Common Causes of Overpayment

  • Outdated or one-size-fits-all pricing models
  • Hidden gateway or monthly fees
  • Misclassification of transactions (card-present vs. card-not-present)
  • Failure to benchmark rates against industry standards
