Prompt and Efficient
We needed a new credit card machine, so I filled out an online Merchant Maverick form. Received an instant reply from the team that the machine I selected was no longer used, and suggested a replacement. No time wasted, prompt and efficient. This is the type of service that I keep coming back for.

Wonderful website for small business owners
I have been wanted to write a review for Merchant Maverick long time ago. We started our business around 2016, we got the first credit card processor, Worldpay through our business bank, at that point, I don't know anything about how credit card fee is charged, I just presumed everybody paid the same fee. After couple months, a lady from Heartland stopped by, wanted us switched to her company,, and she promised we would pay less . I started realized there are more choices than Worldpay, so I did some research online, try to find some info to help me decide, that's when I stumped upon this website: Merchant Maverick. I read the articles from them about credit card processors, the cons and pros for each processor..... From them, I learned the difference of each price models, and I learned the interchange plus..... There are so much useful info from their website! Fast forward today, we are very happy with the credit card processor we got it under Merchant Maverick's suggestion, they are fair and has excellent customer service. Merchant Maverick became my go-to website for anything related with credit card processors, I became a little expert about choosing credit card processor, I also recommend to my friends or customers to check out Merchant Maverick first before they want to switch their credit card processor. Thank you Merchant Maverick for your marvelous job to help small business owner like me save money. I hope Merchant Maverick will continue keep fair and neutral view on the topic they decide to take.

The One & Only Honest Public and Practical Information Source for Small Business
From the beginning, even before the creators of Merchant Maverick had their site up. I was attracted to the inspiration, generosity and educated truth that was made available to me to guide me through the maze of mis-information and deceit, especially in the credit card processing area. It gave me the upper hand when negotiating with processing companies and many times, I had more information then the salesman themselves and many times got redirected to the owner or head honcho of the company. I am extremely grateful for saving the 2% on my sales for the years I owned my retail business. Now with the current events and affairs of our world, the information I receive is invaluable to informing me of what is going on, way before the information finds its way to the public and I can trust the information and the guidance. Thank You

Merchant Maverick helps small businesses!
Always appreciate the sage business advice. Three years ago, when I was trying to save money on credit card service fees, Merchant Maverick shared information about how to compare the services and make sure you weren't missing any hidden fees, etc. Also reviewed several different companies. I didn't know what I didn't know! I used that information to make a wise, informed decision that has saved us thousands annually. We are a small business with limited access to resources, so any information like this is especially helpful.

A company you can trust
Jessica offered me great advice when I was looking a contactless payment solution for a Covid19 support group I'm involved with.
She didn't push what I was asking for as there was a better solution available elsewhere.
Great integrity and product knowledge.
Thanks so much Jessica

Fair assessment of CC fees for small businesses
I own a small business and looked for many years for ways to lower my merchant services rates (credit card fees). Finally I discovered Merchant Maverick and I am saving 30%! Quite significant! The company that I chose (Dharma) is wonderful to work with and their tech support is excellent. I am very happy with MM!
