Q and A
  • What is Merchant Watchdog?
    • Merchant Watchdog is an alternative to switching merchant service providers. With Merchant Watchdog, we are YOUR advocate.
  • What do we do?
    • We advocate on behalf of business owners to lower their credit card fees WITHOUT SWITCHING them from their current processor.
  • Why did we start this business?
    • After years of merchant service experience, we know quite well that processors overcharge merchants on both the discount rate and with hidden fees.  Independent merchants are the heart of America. We seek to show them a better, more affordable way to accept credit cards.


  • How do we get the processors to lower rates/fees?
    • We currently have expert negotiators for almost every processing bank available to negotiate on behalf of you, the merchant.

Q and A (continued)
  • Why would processors want to decrease their profits?
    • Our negotiators know exactly who to contact at the processing banks.  When contacted by us, they are willing to evaluate fees and lower certain costs in order to retain the merchant and prevent them from switching to their competitors.


  • How much do we charge merchants?
    • Merchants who agree to participate pay nothing. All fees are derived from your savings. The more the merchant saves, the more we make – We really want to save you money!
