Merchant Services & POS in South Florida

  • Contactless and online payments
  • Reading an existing statement line by line

Before you hire

Ask this of anyone you are considering for the work — including someone who is not a LEO member:

  • What was my effective rate on last month's actual statement?
  • How long is the contract, and what is the termination fee?
  • Do I own this hardware or lease it, and for how long?

What's different in South Florida

Rates matter, but in this market the larger cost is usually the contract — long terms, equipment leases that outlive the equipment, and termination fees that only surface when you try to leave. Seasonal businesses also get quietly hurt by flat monthly minimums during the slow months. Have someone read a real recent statement rather than quoting from a rate sheet.
