Tips

If you compare services, be sure to consider the following:

Some bankcard companies charge application fees and annual fees - TMS does not charge these fees.

You can process Visa check cards or MasterCard check cards just like a credit card or if you prefer you can use our pin-based debit service at a fixed rate of 50 cents with a 0% discount fee.

Some bank card companies will require that you obtain a checking account from them or only transfer your funds to you a few times per month. TMS will transfer your funds directly into your existing checking account every day.

Some processors will debit your checking account for the fees from each batch, making check reconciliation very difficult. TMS only debits the fees once per month, which means your batch totals and your deposits will always match.
