01 / THE PROBLEM

The processing industry was built to confuse you.

Your processor doesn't want you to understand your rate. Here's what they're hiding.

Tiered Pricing
Processors bundle transactions into "qualified" and "non-qualified" tiers, hiding their real markup inside each one. You never see the actual interchange cost.
Statement Fog
Monthly statements are deliberately complex. 90% of merchants can't calculate their actual effective rate from the numbers shown.
Rate Creep
Low introductory rates quietly increase over months. By the time you notice, you've overpaid thousands. They literally count on you not checking.
Slow Onboarding
Switching processors takes 3-7 business days of paperwork. They count on your inertia to keep you locked into a bad rate forever.

"My old processor had me on tiered pricing and I had no idea how much I was losing. Joe walked me through my statement, showed me exactly where the padding was, and got me on interchange-plus. Night and day."

★★★★★

"We run a busy pizza shop. Processing 40-50K a month in cards. Shaved almost a full point off our rate. That's real money for a small shop. Whole switch took less than 24 hours."

"As a SaaS company, our recurring charges were getting eaten by processing fees. RateKillers found $6K in annual savings I didn't even know I was leaving on the table. The rate calculator alone is worth it."

06 / WHO'S BEHIND THIS

Built by someone who got tired of the games.

Joe Hecker

Founder, RateKillers — 10+ Years in Payment Processing

After a decade selling merchant accounts for companies like Wholesale Payments, Priority Payments Alliance, and OpenEdge, Joe kept running into the same problem: merchants had no idea what they were actually paying. Statements were built to confuse. Processors hid markup inside tiered pricing. And when merchants tried to switch, the paperwork wall kept them stuck. RateKillers is the tool Joe wished existed years ago. A way for any merchant to see their real number and do something about it, fast.

07 / FAQ

Questions you're probably asking.

Your effective rate is the total amount you pay in processing fees divided by your total sales volume. Most merchants pay between 2.5% and 3.5% but don't know it because processors hide fees across tiered pricing, statement fees, PCI fees, and monthly minimums. We calculate the real number so you can see what you're actually paying.
With RateKillers, you can be processing at your new rate within 24 hours. Traditional processor switches take 3-7 business days. We handle the application, underwriting, and onboarding automatically.
No long-term contracts and no cancellation fees. If we can't save you money, you don't switch. If you ever want to leave, you leave. We keep your business by being the best option, not by trapping you in a contract.
Interchange-plus is the most transparent pricing model in payment processing. You pay the exact interchange rate set by Visa/Mastercard (which varies by card type) plus a small, fixed markup. No bundled tiers, no hidden categories, no surprises. You see exactly what every transaction costs. It's how processing should have always worked.
Just your name, email, and basic info about your business. If you have a recent processing statement, that helps us give you an exact comparison. But even without one, we can estimate your savings based on your monthly volume and average ticket size.
Yes. 100% free, no credit card required, no obligation. We make money when you switch to better pricing. If we can't save you money, we'll tell you that straight up. No hard sell, no follow-up spam.

Every merchant deserves to know their number.

Built by a decade-long payment processing veteran who got tired of watching merchants overpay. Transparency shouldn't be a feature. It should be the default.
