If you manually key enter the card number (non-swiped), the rate is 3.5% + 10¢.  The credit card companies (VISA, MC, Discover, AMEX) charge us a higher rate for manually keyed transactions because they assume that it is not a face-to-face transaction and is a considerably higher risk for fraud or chargeback. Their rationale is that a card swipe indicates that the cardholder is face to face with the merchant, and this transaction is less risky than a phone, internet or Card-On-File type of transaction.

With EMSplus® there is no contract regarding any time or money commitment … though there is a merchant account User Agreement that spells out the terms of use. It is accessible from the first screen in the signup form after GET YOUR FREE READER. Here is the link – https://signup.plusbyems.com/UserAgreement/

EMSplus® is able to process all debit cards bearing the Visa, Mastercard or Discover logo. The card is processed just like a credit card.

The default funding time is 2 business days from the end of day auto-settlement of transactions. The money is deposited directly to your checking account … not to an intermediary account and not to a debit card.

NextDay funding is also available (upon request) after sign-up, and is enabled for most merchants with previous processing history, after a manual review of the online application information supplied.

The credit report is a “soft pull” or “soft inquiry” …meaning it will only be seen on a personal credit report. This has no impact on your scores.  Normally a low credit report score is not an issue. Not being able to verify that you actually are running a real business is, especially if you are running large $$ transactions.
