Why Your Credit Card Processing Fees Are So High
The Industry's Dirty Secret
The payment processing industry is notorious for its lack of transparency. Many national providers lure you in with a low introductory rate, only to bury you in hidden fees, complicated tiered pricing models, and unexpected rate hikes. They count on you being too busy to decipher your confusing monthly statement. At The Gatlic Group, we believe this is wrong. We are committed to transparent merchant pricing, and we’re here to show you a better way.
Clarity, Savings, and a Partner You Can Trust
The GATLIC Group Difference
We simplify your merchant services with two core promises:
- Radical Transparency: We primarily use an Interchange-Plus pricing model. This is the most transparent model in the industry, and it ensures you always know exactly what you’re paying. We pass the direct cost of interchange from the card brands (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) directly to you, and we charge a small, fixed markup for our service. That’s it. No hidden fees. No surprises.
- Dedicated Local Support: As a local merchant services provider, we offer a level of support that national companies can’t match. When you have a question, you call a local expert in South Carolina, not a call center overseas. We provide hands-on setup, training, and ongoing support to ensure your payment systems are always running smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Credit card processing fees are often high because many providers use complex pricing models with hidden markups, tiered rates, and additional monthly fees. Introductory rates may look low at first, but costs can increase over time. A lack of transparency makes it difficult for business owners to see what they’re truly paying on their merchant statements.
Reducing credit card processing fees starts with understanding your current pricing structure. Many businesses lower costs by switching to a transparent pricing model, such as Interchange-Plus, and by working with a provider that offers clear statements and ongoing support. A merchant statement review can quickly reveal where unnecessary fees may be adding up.
A reasonable credit card processing fee depends on factors like card type, transaction method, and business volume. Rather than focusing on a single percentage, it’s more important to understand how fees are calculated and whether your provider is adding hidden markups. Transparent pricing allows businesses to clearly see and control their processing costs.
The best credit card processor for small businesses is one that offers transparent pricing, reliable service, and responsive support. Many small businesses prefer working with local providers who can explain fees clearly, provide hands-on assistance, and tailor solutions to their specific needs instead of offering one-size-fits-all pricing.
