A quick look at what this means to you.

Have you heard about the Durbin Amendment, which went into effect on October 1, 2011? If you have a merchant account, or you process payments in any way, then you need to know how this landmark decision can affect your day to day business.
Facts about the Durbin Amendment
The Durbin Amendment is a landmark decision. This is the first time we have ever seen this large of a reduction in payment processing fees. This cuts the costs for Debit transactions almost %50. Combined, debit transactions make up 50-70% of the processing done by businesses. Imagine paying up to half of what you currently pay on 50-70% of the cards you are currently processing?
