Best Card LLC

 

 

DO THE MATH: $277 ÷ $8765 = 3.16%

What are you really paying to process all your patient’s credit cards every month?  Divide the total of your credit card processing fees ($277) by the total of the dollars you processed from your processing statement ($8765) – minus your American Express activity. If your “Effective Rate” is greater than 2.0%, you are probably paying too much.

Best Card offers great rates and unparalleled customer service. Thousands of dental offices are saving an average of 23% annually in credit card processing fees by switching to Best Card which has an effective rate of less than 2.0%.  Best Card sends you only one deposit and one monthly statement for all of your activity for MasterCard, Visa, Discover AND American Express (AMEX is optional).  This makes reconciling your bank statement very fast & easy.

Fax a recent credit card statement to 866-717-7247 and they will fax back a detailed analysis showing how much you can save.  Best Card will call you to review your analysis, will review your new Durbin Amendment debit card savings, and will send you a $5 gift card just for allowing Best Card to help you find how much money you are over-paying for card processing.  

Your processing equipment will be reprogrammed for free. New PCI Compliant fully-programmed equipment is available for $125. (AzDa members who sign up with Best Card can take $50 off the purchase of any terminal.  Options available:  Telecheck Check Warranty, Free ECashflow Check Collection, Patient Gift Card Programs
