Free merchant statement review for small businesses

Before you switch processors, see what you are actually paying.

Valued Merchant Services helps small businesses review processing costs, spot hidden fees, keep the equipment that already works, and decide whether switching is actually worth it. If we cannot save you money or improve your setup, we will tell you.

If you’ve ever felt like your processor is hard to reach, hard to understand, or hard to trust… you’re not alone.

Takes about 5 minutes. No commitment.

No contracts No pressure People before profits Keep your system if it works Local support after the sale

A better processor should not create a bigger headache.

We show you the numbers first. Then we explain what would change, what would stay the same, and whether switching actually makes sense for your business.

See how it works

Cost is one part. How your business actually runs day-to-day is the other.

After cost, the next question is how everything works day to day.

In just a minute, you will understand exactly how we can help do more than just reduce your rates.

Then

Numbers matter. But what happens after you sign matters more.

People before profits

Most processors close the deal. Then disappear.

That is why so many business owners are tired of banks, processors, call centers, trouble tickets, and email-only support. VMS was built to feel different before, during, and after the sale.

What many merchants are used to

Too often, payment processing feels personal until the account is signed. Then support gets handed off to systems that do not know your business.

  • You call support and get a different person every time.
  • You wait on hold just to ask a simple question.
  • You submit a ticket and hope someone follows up.
  • The person who signed you up is nowhere to be found.

That’s the normal experience in this industry.

That’s exactly what we built VMS to fix.

What VMS means by people before profits

People before profits means we tell you when not to switch.

It is not a slogan. It is how we make decisions when a merchant trusts us with their business.

  • We tell you when your current setup is already good.
  • We help you keep your existing equipment when it still makes sense.
  • You have a real local person who lives and works in your community.
  • The person who earns your business remains accountable after the sale.
  • You are backed by real people in our US-based offices in WA, ID, and UT.
Direct access matters. Our merchants can reach real people through direct dial phone numbers, text messages, and email.
Local accountability matters. You are not just an account number to someone three layers removed from your business.
Reputation matters. For nearly 20 years, VMS has built trust by doing what most processors only promise before the sale.
Meet the people behind the promise

Real names. Real roles. Real ways to reach us.

These are real people you can call, text, or email directly.

After that

Here is what most business owners actually want to know before switching.

What owners actually care about

You do not need another payment processing pitch.

You need to know whether the savings are real, whether setup will interrupt your business, whether deposits will be reliable, and whether the person who earned your trust will still answer after the sale.

Will this be a hassle? We explain setup, timing, equipment, and what changes before anything moves forward.
Will I actually save? We review your real statement numbers instead of making vague rate claims.
Can I keep my setup? Often, yes. If your current equipment or software works, we will say so.
Who helps later? You get a real local person plus a dedicated team in our US-based offices. Phone, text, and email support stay human.
The VMS review method

We make payment processing easier to understand before asking you to change anything.

We start with your statement, equipment, business model, and goals. Then we show what is working, what is costing you, what could be better, and what we would leave alone.

1
We read the statement for you We translate processing fees, monthly charges, assessments, and markups into normal language.
2
We show your true cost You see your effective rate and total monthly processing cost, not just the advertised rate.
3
We check better options We review whether VMS can lower costs, improve funding, or simplify your setup.
4
We give you a clear next step If switching makes sense, we explain it. If staying put makes sense, we say that too.
Is it worth switching?

A good review should help you make a clean decision.

Finally
How it works

Better payment processing starts with one statement.

Three simple steps. Clear numbers. No pressure.

Send your statement

Send a recent merchant processing statement so we can review your actual rates, fees, and monthly costs.

See your options

We show whether VMS can lower costs, improve support, keep your current setup, or offer better tools.

Decide with clarity

You get a people-first recommendation from a real person, even if staying put makes the most sense.

If we cannot beat your current rates and fees, we will pay you $500.

All we need is a recent processing statement. We will show whether we can improve your bottom line, improve your support, or whether your current setup is already a good fit.

Customer proof

Business owners remember when setup is easy and support actually shows up.

I had a very positive experience with Valued Merchants. Opening up a retail business, I had so much to do. Fortunately, setting up the credit card terminals and merchant account was seamless. It was one less thing I had to worry about.
