Today we are discussing what is the best option for your business when it comes to payments.

We are diving into Paypal, Square, Stripe, or a merchant account and how these companies work; what are the differences so you can make an informed decision.

Allen Kopelman and Justin Owings dive deep into the discussion as we have both been merchants. We understand the struggle that small businesses work - we have a good understanding from the standpoint of being a merchant and being a merchant services provider - which gives us a unique perspective on the subject - this is a question that comes up often, so we wanted to tackle it.

When it comes to merchant services - we have the experience of dealing with all types of businesses and technology, and we talk about small business - taking your side hustle to the next level and what to

consider when you will start accepting payments - credit cards and getting merchant services.

Stripe Pricing

https://stripe.com/pricing

Square Pricing

https://squareup.com/us/en/pricing?solution=pricing-in-person-payments

PayPal Pricing

https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/merchant-fees

We talk about the pricing models - when it is good and when the pricing is better to deal with an actual merchant services provider like npsbank.com.

Paying by credit card has been around for years -during the pandemic, it hit new levels, and when people started up side hustles - they needed to accept credit cards - so sit back and listen and hear about all the advantages and disadvantages of each of these services.

As always, we offer a free 15-minute consultation - https://npsbank.com/appointment/.

In today's podcast, we dive into what is going on with congress and credit card processing. Two articles came out about these hearings and a "Bill" that is sitting on the Senator. Dick Durbin's desk. The first was in the capitalist - an opinion stating that if interchange was more regulated, it would cause a lot of harm to small banks, credit unions, and local banks. Florida Credit Union Association was urging Senators not to go along with this proposal.

In another article in payments dive

https://www.paymentsdive.com/news/visas-ceo-braces-for-legislation/624603/

We discuss these two articles - it is more about the mid-term elections and a lot of posturing and blame being put on big companies. The real deal is this - congress needs to stay out of private business - because business always makes adjustments when Congress makes laws. Also, who owns these companies? - the card companies and banks are not owned by one individual although that is what they try to spin - these companies are owned by shareholders, stockholders, investors in the stock market, people who have a 401K, people who have IRA's, etc.. the public are the owners of these companies.

The other reality is this; Congress does not understand how credit works, and they do not understand how credit card processing works, either. If congress wants to call me - I can come up to Washington DC and do a whiteboard demo and explain to them how these systems work, how complex they are - when I hear a guy from the National Retail Federation say at another hearing how the credit system is broken - here is another example of how out of touch these people are with reality. Some suggestions on what the card brands should do - listen in we talk about some easy changes that could be made. And also why regulation will not work because congress has no clue about how the business really works.

Enjoy
