Merchant Services Built for Grocery & Supermarkets
Slash your card fees—our Interchange+ program starts at just 0.20 % + $0.10 per transaction and gets even lower as your monthly volume grows.
Due to an increase in fraudulent activity involving grocery stores in NY, PA, and NJ, we will, in most cases, no longer accept applications for merchant services from grocery stores in these areas without a minimum deposit of $500. The required deposit may be higher for newly established businesses or based on the length of time the business has been in operation and other factors. Furthermore, newly established grocery store Interchange Rates will be at a higher rate of 0.75%.
