About Merchant Advocate
Merchant Advocate helps organizations save money and see clearly in the complicated world of credit card processing. Acting as an impartial consultant with no processor behind it, it analyzes a client's existing payment setup to find where money is being lost to unfair rates, hidden fees and coding errors.
It then negotiates with the processor on the client's behalf, so there is no need to switch processors or change systems. The model is contingency-based: there are no upfront costs, and clients pay only from the savings Merchant Advocate identifies and validates. Corporate, enterprise, private equity and real estate organizations use it.
