Free statement review offer still stands.
If you've never had anyone walk you through your effective rate, your card mix, and what's actually billable vs. padded — that's where to start. DM us.
Chargeback reality check:
The money comes out of your account first. You fight it after. And the burden of proof is on you, not the customer.
A lot of merchants don't realize this until the first one hits.
The story of 2026 in payments isn't AI or stablecoins for most small businesses.
It's this: rates are creeping up, settlements aren't moving fast, and the gap between merchants with a real partner and merchants without one is widening.
Agents: the processors that win in 2026 won't be the ones with the lowest buy rate.
They'll be the ones whose merchants don't churn because support actually shows up.
If that sounds like the kind of partner you want — DM us.
An on-site ATM does two things at once: keeps customers in your store and adds a revenue stream.
The Hyosung 2800T is built for exactly that. DM us if you want to talk ATM placement.
Intuit's 2026 survey found 26% of small business owners delayed paying their own salary because of payment processing delays.
If next-day funding isn't standard with your processor in 2026, ask why.
Fake or fact: your staff needs fraud training even with a secure POS. Fact. The POS protects the tech. It doesn't protect against a refund scam, a fake "owner approved it" call, or a rushed cashier.

Colorado just passed a bill to exempt sales tax from interchange fees — businesses currently pay the swipe fee on tax money they're just passing through to the government.
This fight is moving state by state. Worth knowing if you're a multi-state operator.
Agentic commerce is the headline of 2026 in payments. AI agents are projected to handle a meaningful chunk of US e-commerce by 2030.
For most small businesses, the practical question is simpler: does your current setup even accept the payment methods customers want today?
Most merchants can't answer two questions about their processing:
What pricing model am I on?
What did my effective rate come out to last month?
If your processor never explained either, that's the issue — not the fees themselves.
Last week 17 merchant groups urged the Senate to reject a proposal that would let more large banks raise debit swipe fees.
Debit fees were supposed to be the "regulated" side of the equation. That's now in play too. Worth watching.
The Visa/Mastercard settlement cuts interchange by 0.1% for five years. The NRF called it a fraction of the 2.35% average merchants pay.
Translation: don't wait on a court ruling to fix your processing costs. The relief, if it ever lands, is small.

Visa's Credit Enhanced Debit Program rate change took effect May 1.
Small business credit cards now run 0.14% higher in interchange.
If you haven't looked at your statement since April, that increase is already hitting. Worth pulling it up this week.

Genius is heading to the NRA Show in Chicago this month with new AI features for restaurant POS.
Restaurants don't need more AI. They need a POS that doesn't freeze during the Friday dinner rush.
The bar in this industry is somehow still that low.
#RestaurantTech
"We'll get back to you" is not support.
If your processor's first response to a terminal down at 11am on a Saturday is a ticket number, you don't have a payments partner.
You have a vendor.
