The Problem

Hidden fees are
quietly eroding
your margins.

Most business owners sign a processor contract and never revisit it. Meanwhile, processors layer in batch fees, PCI non-compliance charges, mid- and non-qualified downgrades, and monthly minimums — compounding silently every month.

The industry is designed to be opaque. Statements are dense, terminology is obscure, and the people who could explain it have no incentive to do so.

That is where PricePilot comes in. We decode your statement, identify every recoverable fee, and put that money back where it belongs.

$172B
Paid by U.S. merchants in processing fees annually — most without knowing what they are paying for
Interchange Fees Fixed
1.10% – 2.60%

Set by card networks. Non-negotiable but manageable through card mix optimization.

Processor Markup Negotiable
0.20% – 1.50%

What your processor keeps. Almost always negotiable — and rarely disclosed transparently.

Hidden & Downgrade Fees Often Removable
0.30% – 1.20%

PCI fees, batch charges, downgrades. These are where businesses lose the most — and where we recover the most.

What We Do

A complete suite
of optimization
services.

Every engagement begins with understanding your specific payment environment — your processor, your volume, your card mix. From there we build a strategy tailored to recovering the maximum possible from your current setup.

Free Statement Audit

We analyze your merchant processing statement line by line, identify all fee categories, and quantify exactly how much you are overpaying — at no cost to you.
