If you are evaluating merchant accounts, and someone makes you sign a
lease, simply say: "What kind of a moron do you take me for?"

Signing a merchant account lease is as stupid as shopping at
Bloomingdales. You overpay for the same product. On a 48 month lease,
the sales rep makes about $500. Do you pay your sales reps $500?

If you want to accept credit cards, never sign a lease for processing
equipment. We have credit card teminals or PC processing software for
only $395. If you pay anything more, you are wasting your money.

We give you a variety of merchant account programs, including the
ability to process credit cards using your telephone for only $295. You
can also submit transactions electroncially for only $295. 

Our discount rates are as low as 1.49% for retail merchants, or 2% for
non retail merchants. Unlike many programs on the net, funds are
deposited in your own bank account. We also have programs with NO
statement fee.

Don't pay a sales rep a commission to accept credit cards. Deal Direct
with a bankcard agent. If you pay any more than $395 for PC processing
software or a Zon Jr XL terminal, you overpaid!

We have been providing merchant accounts for 6 years, and think it's
absurd to pay $995 for a terminal or PC processing software.  Also, if
you ever sign a lease for 48 months for a merchant account, you are
making a huge mistake. You are stuck with it. You have to pay insurance
on it, plus sales tax. And you have a 10% buyout at the end of it. A $39
per month lease for 48 months works out to about $2300 over the 4 years
when you add up all the fees involved. I have the exact same product for
$395. So why would you want to do business with anyone charging more?

We also give you a free bonus pack:
1) $500 worth of grocery coupons
2) 1 Year subscriptions to up to 8 great magazines
3) Free Link to your web site from our home page
4) Free announcement of your web site to over 100,000 email addresses.
