Warning: Arizona Business Owners

The 3% Lie

The thing almost every business owner was told about their processing fees… that isn't actually true.

Most business owners were told something like this when they signed up for credit card processing:

"Your rate will be around 2.5–3%. Very competitive."

Sounds reasonable. You shook hands. You signed.

But here's the part nobody explained:

That number usually isn't the real number you pay.

The Reality Most Owners Discover Too Late

When you calculate your true effective rate — total fees divided by total card sales — most businesses are actually paying:

3.4%Common
3.7%Very Common
4%+More Than You Think

That's because the "rate" they quoted you doesn't include everything else they charge:

That extra 1% difference doesn't sound like much…

Until you do the math.

The Math That Hurts

Let's say your business processes $50,000/month in card transactions.

Monthly card volume $50,000
What you think you pay (2.5%) $1,250/mo
What you're probably paying (3.6%) $1,800/mo
The hidden gap $550/mo extra

That's $6,600 per year you didn't know you were losing.

Over 5 years? $33,000.

And most business owners never realize it because they never check.

See the Gap For Yourself

What you were told What you actually pay
2.5%
3.5–4%+
That gap costs you $6,000–$9,000 per year
On $50K/month volume, that gap = $33,000+ gone over 5 years

The Simple Test

You don't need software. You don't need to call anyone. Just answer one question:

Do you know your true effective rate?

Not the rate you were quoted. The real number on your statement after every fee is added together.

Most business owners don't. And that's exactly how processors want it.

But Here's What They Really Don't Want You to Know

Arizona businesses can now legally eliminate their processing fees entirely.

Not negotiate them down. Not switch to a slightly cheaper processor. Eliminate them.

Through a compliant dual-pricing program, your business can offset 100% of card processing costs. It's legal in all 50 states. Thousands of businesses are already doing it. And the businesses that switch typically see the savings from month one.

The only question is whether your business qualifies.

After years of dealing with Stripe freezing funds and creating random headaches, switching to Deposyt was one of the best decisions we've made. Our merchant fees dropped. Big win.
