Below is another example of one of our clients saving a ton of money on their monthly debit card processing fees due to the Durbin Amendment! This client is a dentist with two accounts. One of them is used to swipe cards at the front desk, the other one is used exclusively for recurring billing. The Swiped account realized a much greater Durbin savings due to higher volume of Debit cards.
the Durbin Amendment reduces the cost of processing a qualified debit card from about .95% + $.20 per transaction down to roughly .05% + $.22 per transaction. On a $100 sale the old cost would be $1.15 and the new cost of processing the debit card would be $.27. This is a huge savings - and one that the business owner can ONLY take advantage of if they are on an interchange plus pricing structure.
A year ago we hired a gentleman in the midwest who had retired 10 years ago and was living on social security. His checks were just enough to pay his bills - but he wanted something more. After almost a year of searching for a sales job he had no luck. He contacted us knowing that while we could not guarantee him a salary - we could give him an opportunity to increase his income substantially on his own timeframe.
I know it's crazy. I'm about to tell you why you DON'T want to take a sales job with a company that provides pre-set appointments. Most outside sales people cannot fathom having to go out and generate their own business.

Here are the top 3 reasons why you should not sell merchant services with any company that is going to provide you leads: (These are facts given to us by our sales representatives who used to work with other companies!)
