MPS Inc. - Giving Back to the Community, in a BIG WAY!


I would like to introduce, our partner and wonderful human being, Claudia Mosley. For those that do not know Claudia, she is the heart of Merchant Processing Solutions Inc. She has always been involved with helping the community especially when it comes to children. As the mother of four, Claudia understands the difficulties facing today's families, not only here in the United States but  other children's organizations internationally. We are so proud of the work that Merchant Processing Solutions Inc does not only in South Florida but also in Colombia.

America's Planning Giving Foundation





For the past seven years, Claudia has been the heart and soul of Americas Planning Giving (APG) Foundation, a non-profit run by Americas Community Center.


This organization works with childrens's organizations that do not have enough resources to survive and thrive! APG is working to bring education, and other valuable resources to impoverished areas in South Florida and Latin América in order to stop the cycle of poverty and give children a better future. Claudia and Fabio Andrade, CEO of Americas Community Center, along with fellow members have gone to Colombia to lend a hand to these groups.

Highland Food Resources

Over the last year, Claudia has also become Chairman of the Board at Highland Food Resources. Highland Food Resources is providing healthy meals to approximately 13,000+ children in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. The goal of this invaluable program is to ensure that nutritious meals and snacks are served daily and that healthy eating habits are taught in child care settings.

Many Immokalee families left homeless following Hurricane Irma's wrath!

Upon hearing this,Claudia jumped into action after she heard about the devastation left behind after Hurricane Irma to Immokalee, Florida. She personally drove her SUV several times to Immokalee to bring fresh water, food, clothes and other supplies to those in need.

Christmas comes to Immokalee, Florida




Claudia along with several other groups brought much needed supplies to this disseminated area of South Florida. Many people are unaware the Immokalee is mostly an immigrant labor area. Most living there work in the fields which were also destroyed by the storm, leaving most immigrant workers without work or means to support their families! 
Claudia helps Santa distribute Christmas gifts to the children of Immokalee.


Claudia and others prepare meals for distribution.





















America's Planned Giving along with Claudia Mosley participated in gift collecting to bring Christmas to the children of Immokalee. Without the generous donations by many people including the members of America's Community Center, most of these families of Immokalee would not have been able to provide any Christmas for these children. After the presents were distributed, the community participated in a hearty meal. 


No matter where the need exists, Claudia along with Yamilet and the rest of Merchant Processing Solutions Inc. will be there to lend a helping hand. 

Can you say that about your merchant processing company? 

Remember....we are about relationships and not just transactions!

Understanding Virtual Terminals




What is a Virtual Terminal? A Virtual Terminal provides payment acceptance for merchants who key-enter credit cards and/or wish to accept electronic check transactions via direct mail or telephone order (MOTO) sales. Virtual Terminals are one of the most misunderstood and undersold products in the industry!

Recently, I met with a client who NEVER SAW THEIR CUSTOMER FACE TO FACE! But they were leased a credit card terminal and had to key-enter all their transactions driving their credit card rate higher than should have been. You see key-entering credit cards COSTS YOU MORE MONEY! Card Not Present fees (CNP rates and fees) are higher than “swiped" transactions because of the lower risk of fraud. Presumably, swiping a card is proof to the brands, Visa/MasterCard/Discover/American Express and their banks, that the credit card OWNER was physically present at the time of the purchase.

We are constantly asked why are key-entering fees so much higher (about .30% over swiped transactions)? Here are the main reasons:

  • Card owner not present so some 20 year old man is using Mrs. Smith's credit card information he found dumpster diving on a statement.
  • If a customer does a Chargeback and you are key-entering your transactions, the owner of the credit card can claim it was "NOT ME"! You have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was indeed that customer that used his/her own credit card. You would need a credit card use authorization form sent to the customer and signed along with a copy of a valid driver's license and maybe even more. Please check with your credit card processing for more requirements.
  • Accepting credit cards via email, phone or direct mail can also pose great risks for the merchant. Are these methods safe? Who is accepting that credit card data at the merchant location? Is it being stored anywhere, physically? Is it vulnerable and sitting where others can take is an use it! How well do YOU protect your client's credit card data? 




Let me tell you an actual event: We had a customer that had thousands of dollars of credit cards fees stolen from a credit card GIVEN TO HIS BUSINESS as payment for upcoming work. As a contractor, he had written the credit card information on a payment form and had the customer sign it. He placed the signed form in a folder, he put the folder in his briefcase, the briefcase in his car, drove around a few hours with other business, then onto his desk, in his office, at his house! 

Later that evening, he and his wife went out to dinner leaving a babysitter to watch their children. Little did they know that the babysitter had a boyfriend that came to visit her. In the few moments the babysitter went to check on the children, the boyfriend found the folder on the desk and snapped a picture of the payment form. Within the next 24 hours, this person, unbeknownst to anyone had gone online and bought about $4000 worth of merchandise and had it shipped to various friends houses. Immediately, the owner of the credit card, reported the fraud. And an investigation pursued. They traced back the breach to the contractor whom had neglected to protect his customer's credit card information. He was held liable for not only the $4000 but penalties and breach fees. As you can imagine, he lost that contract as well as many others and is not longer in the contracting business.


Here are the benefits of a Virtual Terminal:

  • Virtual Terminals are excellent for many types of merchants since either the merchant or their employees can key-enter the card info directly into the virtual terminal gateway and immediately send the customer an email receipt. 
  • Each employee can have their own secure login and password to identify who took payments. Great for reporting purposes. 
  • ALL THE CREDIT CARD INFO IS STORED OFFSITE AT THE GATEWAY COMPANY NOT YOUR COMPUTER OR OFFICE! 
  • The customer info is also entered into the virtual terminal and the last 4 digits of the credit card. This allows you to create reports, verify payments and amounts.
  • By keeping the customer data and credit card info behind the gateway's secure/encrypted firewall, you can recharge a client if requested by the client without them needing to resend you all their information. 
  • Most Virtual Terminal gateways offer "Recurring Billing" as a payment method option. This allows you to set up a customer on monthly payments until a determined date. The payments can be scheduled for the date agreed upon by both the merchant and the customer. Both the customer and the merchant get receipts emailed to them once that recurring payment has been transmitted- and approved. The merchant- will also get a notification if the card has expired or is declined.

We listen, we care and we prove it!



Over the last 3 weeks, our TEAM has had several meetings with merchants that are so fed-up with their merchant processor that they can hardly think straight! What leads a business owner to those
extremes? Here is one such story.

Listen for yourself.....
I signed up with my bank in 2012. I was in a hurry and trusted them.
I had really no idea what I was paying but I saw the money daily and was able to pay my bills and eventually grow the business. When we decided to open another location, I had more time to check around but my bank rep kept coming by with a new contract. I spoke to several other processors, but unfortunately, NOT Merchant Processing Solutions Inc. No one seemed to offer me much more than my bank, so I signed up. Shortly after, I started seeing some huge withdrawals from my bank account. When I asked what they were, I was told my lease agreement on my new equipment, $120 per month! I also noticed that the rates were twice what I had been paying! When I finally got mad enough to go to the bank, since my rep STOPPED RETURNING MY CALLS, I was told that I was solely responsible for not understanding the terms of my contract and had no one to blame but myself. I had a 3 year contract and a 4 year lease on my equipment! If I wanted out of the contract, I would have to payoff the 4 year lease and a $499 service contract cancellation fee!

My advice: 
"Do not use your bank for your merchant services, even if it sounds convenient since you bank with them.  I have found out, the hard way, that they do not care about you or your business; but their bottom line! DO your homework; buy your own equipment; find a local, ethical and reputable company to process your credit cards with no hidden fees. The potential delay in deposits is worth it financially, in the long run.


We Care......
As many times as it has been posted here on this blog and elsewhere, merchants still do not understand the implications of going with their BANK, leasing equipment or signing a contract. Worse yet, most the of time they have NO IDEA they did any of the above mentioned! Merchant Processing Solutions Inc. never leases equipment to our merchants! We also do not require contracts! So, how are we able to keep 90% of our merchants for more than 5 years? Terrific TEAM, excellent customer services, local company available to meet with our merchants when needed and an overall desire to ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING! 

We Prove it..... Call Merchant Processing Solutions Inc. - 954-938-2420

BEST in Customer Service.....or not so much?

BEST in Customer Service.....or not so much?
There are certain attributes that all GREAT customer service professionals MUST have to be to keep their clients/customers satisfied.


Merchant Processing Solutions Inc. is a forward-facing company. We all sell and service our customer's with their merchant accounts. Each one of us are the "face" of Merchant Processing Solutions Inc. We are the sales consultants that work hard to make you like and trust us, ultimately giving us your business! 

However, there are VERY few company like Merchant Processing Solutions Inc. that allow their sales reps to continue doing customer care duties on their merchant's accounts. Most companies employee an entirely separate department of people to take calls and help their merchants with their account issues. At the end of the day, the sales rep that SOLD a merchant account, may NEVER be heard or found again! That rep has moved on.....any promises made by the REP will now have to be fulfilled by an 800# and someone that you DO NOT KNOW!

Here are some Customer Services Qualities that make Merchant Processing Solutions Inc. your ONLY choice for a long-term merchant processing relationship. 

  • Available - You deal with your local merchant consultant or our local partners.
  • Ethical - Our promises are in writing in your application. 
  • Honesty - We do not sell useless products and services to our merchants. 
  • Listening - We analyze our merchants and offer the best in class products and services along with great rates, no contract and more.
  • Patience - Understanding and recognizing merchant problems and issues, is our strength. With more than 40 years of collective experience, we personally help our merchants resolve any potential issues.
  • Attentiveness - We pride ourselves on answering the our phones or getting back to our clients within a few hours. We know business is important...and you are OUR business!
  • Clear Communication - We are honest, open and clear from the beginning of our relationship with a merchant. We listen, propose, implement and train on all of our products and services. Always setting expectations along the way.
                                                        Related image

  • Deep knowledge of all products and services - I know salespeople who ONLY sell a couple of products and services. They do so because they only know those products and services, or their company is pushing those products and services to their merchants or the salesperson makes more MONEY by selling those products and services. Merchant Processing Solutions Inc. knows the merchant services industry and most of the products and services that we sell and support. We spend a lot of time understanding our merchants needs and budget. We offer a solution that meets those wants and needs. If, for some reason, we do not have experience on a required product or service that the merchant needs, we investigate, get training and of course , go to the source to fully understand the product or service. You see, without knowing a product inside out, you won't know how to help your merchant find a solution!
  • Don't Assume, Listen & Learn - The longer salespeople are in their same business, the more they think they've heard it all! So, as the merchant starts to explain their wants and needs, the  REP has already placed a bookmark on a certain product or service, they believe is the solution. Or they just sell the same "old-fashioned" industry product or service to get a new SALE! Merchant Processing Solutions Inc. listens, understands and learns about our clients. We do not assume anything! We offer alternatives with features and benefits, allowing the merchant to make the final decision.
  • Positive Relationships Building - Merchant Processing Solutions Inc. is a local company. We have the ability to meet our merchants in-person to develop rapport with them before, during and after the sale. We pride ourselves on reading the merchant's sentiment, helping comfort any difficult situations, looking quickly and efficiently for a win-win solutions.  
  • Be the Calm during the Storm - Great companies know that it's ALL ABOUT THE ATTITUDE! Merchant Processing Solutions Inc. knows that its "IF" something goes wrong but "WHEN" it goes wrong....how do we handle it?? Check out our testimonials to know how well we do!
If your merchant services company does not measure up to Merchant Processing Solutions Inc., you need to call us TODAY!! 954-616-8048

Traditional Merchant Processing vs New Industry Merchant Processing Methods

The payment industry is rapidly changing and transitioning from a cash-based world to a cashless one. Less than 10 years ago, President Obama predicted that Americans would move away from credit cards and towards debit cards and cash! We believe that this is far from what transpired! Most Americans today appear to have very little cash on-hand and use a credit card with a limit to protect themselves from Identity Theft and Fraud. Savvy consumers know that they have to play their part in protecting their income and bank accounts. Merchants are see more credit card payments today than in the past while in some cases they are paying higher rates than need be.

As we see this payment acceptance industry shift to an increasingly digital world, where cash is protected and credit cards are used, consumers are looking at easier ways to make purchases and payments. Let's look at the traditional processing methods of the merchant payment processing industry and what the industry is moving towards in the near-future.

Traditional Terminal 
Traditional Processing Methods:

  • 48 Hour Funding Equipment Leasing
  • Contracts
  • Pin-Based Debit
  • Bundled Rates - Qualified, Mid-Qualified & Non-Qualified
  • Per Item & Authorization Fees & Batch Fess
  • Multiple Accounts to service multiple products with multiple fees like: Terminal, Website, Mobile, etc
  • Counter-top credit card machines with paper receipts (Landline)
  • No data capture for marketing or inventory


New Industry Processing: 

  • Point of Sale (POS) credit card processing with paper receipts or email
  • Integrated processing using retail, eCommerce & Mobile with FULL data capture for marketing and inventory with email receipts and email INVOICING.
  • EMV compatible terminals connected using WiFi, Internet, Wireless (Cellular Data) or Landline.
  • Mobile Credit Card Processing - Taking your business to the customer with Mobile Apps,
    Smartphone or Tablet Payment Acceptance. These methods can accommodate customer info and inventory, on the go! Text or email receipts make is very convenient for customers too!
  • ECommerce is now considered a "way of life". If you do not have an Internet presence via your own website, you DO NOT EXIST! A website works for you 24/7 and allows your clients to shop at their leisure and purchase whenever they want, increasing business revenue. 
  • Company Mobile Apps - Most companies today use the Internet as their business card to the
    Ever-going Mobile Apps
    world and then introduce their customers to their Mobile App. Made easy to navigate and shop without having to log onto a computer. 
  • Rates are going either:
    • Interchange Plus Pricing (wholesale rates offered to the Processor by Visa/MasterCard/Discover/American Express) with a low flat fee for their part of the processing. 
    • Or Flat Rate, which is higher but includes all monthly fees, Brand Assessment fees, and processor fees. 
  • ACH - Check Payment Acceptance via credit card processing
  • ApplePay, SamsumgPay and more - Use Near Field Communication (NFC) to find and capture your credit card info after you have authorized the sale. Then this information is sent out via a "tokenization processing" whereby none of your data info is transmitted only a provisional passcode that is used ONLY for that one sale. 
  • Merchant Processing Reps that are thriving with these new industry standards like the TEAM at, Merchant Processing Solutions Inc., are consulting with their merchants/customers to find the best products and services to fit their business needs. They consult on all industry verticals. Here are some same verticals:
    • Restaurants - traditional or mobile
      POS Equipment & Software
    • Automotive - traditional or mobile
    • Retail - traditional or mobile
    • Medical & Healthcare
    • eCommerce - Website or Mobile Apps
    • Non-Traditional businesses
    • Distribution Centers & Suppliers
    • Global Businesses
    • Businesses that require the use a Point of Sale equipment & specific software
    • Non-Profits 
    • Home Professionals - HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Painting, Roofing, Handyman, Pest Control, Fire Mitigation, Cleaning Professional and many more.
Only a company like Merchant Processing Solutions Inc. that puts its clients AHEAD of profits will work ethically with your company to determine whether a POS System or other product actually fits the YOUR business needs and budget. Don't just go out and buy a payment acceptance system or sign up with a merchant processing company until you have had a consultation with Merchant Processing Solutions Inc.

Mobile Apps Taking Over

Industry experts are seeing quite a shift in mobile merchant processing. For years now, merchants have been able to charge a customer's credit card via a "mobile card reader" connected to a merchant's mobile account. Receipts were sent via TEXT or EMAIL. Merchant could also sell products via a Website through a "secure gateway" for their purchases. Many merchants believe that refitting their website to work on a smart phone made it an APP! Then we go to The Apple Store or The Goggle Play Store,  and their is no app. Early “Mobile Website basically mimic the functionality of a website and still rely on the main website for
full functionality! They are NOT MOBILE APPS, VERY cumbersome on phones, NOT at all consumer friendly and therefore does NOT drive business! Research from Mobile App companies indicates that Mobile Phone Users spend 52% of their Mobile Time on APPS and purchase more using a mobile app!     So...WHY NOT YOURS!

A Mobile App is not ONLY for collecting payment and selling products and services. A Mobile App connects and engages your customers. The data collection piece of the app keeps valuable info on your target market. That info allows you to run marketing campaigns, promos and loyalty programs...all on the same app! If you are a service provider, an App will allow your customers to set appointments, send you text or email messages, refer you additional customers, and learn more about your products and services. The world of Mobile Apps is growing faster globally more than any other payment acceptance product.

Merchant Processing Solutions Inc. works with a mobile app company to help you drive business to your company from the millions of Smart Phone users that no longer rely on a PC to make their purchases. Did you know that 48% of US Companies have blocked Open Internet Access on company computers. Employees now rely on Mobile Apps for payments, purchasing, setting appointments, entertainment and more! Less than 40% of Internet users go home at night and log on to their computers to do even their banking! Isn't it time you look into the fastest growing payment acceptance solution in the world?

Call Merchant Processing Solutions Inc today for a free consultation. Talk to us for the right Mobile App for your company! 954-938-2420
