Flat rate vs Interchange Plus

A tiny advertised markup is not the merchant’s total processing cost

SecureTrust does not currently offer Interchange Plus. We focus on our published 2.00% + 3¢ standard processing structure, Dual Pricing, Clover POS, virtual terminals, and payment gateways. Interchange Plus is used here only for education and statement comparison.

If a merchant currently uses Interchange Plus, we can review the actual effective rate after underlying interchange, card-brand costs, transaction charges, gateway fees, and monthly account costs.

Questions businesses in Fort Lauderdale ask us

What is SecureTrust standard processing pricing?

⌄
SecureTrust standard processing is 2.00% + 3¢ per transaction for approved SecureTrust merchant accounts, plus a $25 monthly platform fee.

Can SecureTrust help lower merchant fees?

⌄
We can review the merchant’s current effective cost and compare it against SecureTrust standard pricing, Dual Pricing, Clover POS, virtual terminal, and gateway options. The goal is to compare the total cost rather than one headline rate.

Does SecureTrust offer Interchange Plus?

⌄
No. SecureTrust does not currently offer Interchange Plus. We focus on our published 2.00% + 3¢ standard processing structure, Dual Pricing, Clover POS, virtual terminals, and payment gateways. Interchange Plus is discussed only for education, statement review, and pricing comparison.

Does Interchange Plus always cost less than our 2.00% flat rate?

⌄
No. Interchange Plus is not automatically cheaper than our 2.00% + 3¢ standard processing rate. The actual result depends on average ticket size, card mix, debit versus credit usage, payment method, interchange categories, processor markup, per-transaction charges, and monthly fees.

Can monthly processing volume alone determine the cheapest pricing model?

⌄
No. Monthly processing volume by itself is not enough to determine the lowest-cost pricing structure. Businesses processing $10,000, $20,000, $50,000, or more per month can have very different processing costs depending on average ticket size, card mix, payment method, transaction count, processor markup, and fixed fees.

Why can our 2.00% + 3¢ rate sometimes cost less than Interchange Plus?

⌄
Interchange Plus includes the underlying interchange cost plus processor markup, per-transaction charges, card-brand costs, and any monthly or account fees. Depending on the merchant’s average ticket, card mix, transaction count, payment method, and total fee structure, those combined costs can be higher or lower than SecureTrust’s published 2.00% + 3¢ standard processing rate. For a deeper comparison, see our Flat Rate vs Interchange Plus page.

Can SecureTrust review my current merchant processing statement?

⌄
Yes. We can review monthly processing volume, transaction count, average ticket, effective rate, monthly fees, keyed activity, Clover setup, gateway costs, and the payment workflow before recommending options.

Does SecureTrust keep the added card-price amount in Dual Pricing?

⌄
No. SecureTrust processes the full card transaction at the approved rate and does not keep the added card-price difference as an extra markup. The remaining amount stays with the merchant.

Do you provide local or remote onboarding?

⌄
Yes. We support local agent assistance and remote onboarding options depending on the market, device setup, and business needs.

Can SecureTrust help Fort Lauderdale businesses with mobile or on-site payments?

⌄
Yes. Clover Flex, virtual terminal tools, payment links, and invoicing options can support mobile payments, service calls, field payments, customer deposits, phone orders, and remote checkout workflows.

What payment setup works well for Fort Lauderdale restaurants and retail stores?

⌄
Many restaurants and retail stores use Clover hardware for in-person checkout, along with reporting tools, staff access controls, tipping options, customer-facing screens, and virtual terminal or invoice tools for remote payments.
