Finding the payment processor that’s right for your business is an important step towards success. This is why you need the best processing rates, giving you top-level services and the latest technology.
Wells Fargo Merchant Services and Stax offer a variety of capabilities to better serve your payment processing needs, but which one is the better fit for your business? We’ve taken a hard look at Wells Fargo Merchant Services to see how it stacks up against Stax payment processing.
Wells Fargo Merchant Services
In addition to its regular banking service, Wells Fargo also offers credit card processing. In order to qualify for their standard merchant services, your business must have a Wells Fargo business checking account and cannot exceed $500,000 in annual sales. As far as pricing goes, Wells Fargo Merchant Services offers two options:
- 2.6% + $0.15 per swiped, dipped, or tapped transaction
- 3.4% + $0.15 per online or keyed-in transaction.
Along with these rates, there’s a $9.95 monthly fee for in-person transactions and a $24.95 fee for online transactions. There’s also a $5 monthly fee per business location if you have a non-Wells Fargo deposit account. Wells Fargo Merchant Services does not offer deposit products and its services are not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other governmental agency.
Key Features of Wells Fargo Merchant Services:
- Mobile payments
- EMV chip technology
- Clover hardware
- Payment gateway/eCommerce processing
- Custom gift cards for businesses
- Next-day funding
The most noticeable thing about Wells Fargo’s services is the fees, especially if your business has multiple locations. You’ll be paying those fees every month. Wells Fargo also states that there may even be other fees you’ll have to pay on top of the $9.95 and $24.95 fees. That’s a lot to take into account, especially if you’re a small business.
