Take Payments & Enjoy the Benefits

Incredible Service

Don’t settle for service that is less than the best. Dual Payments is known for its customer service and going the extra mile for our customers. You’ll find our owners out and about at our merchants every day helping them thrive.

No to Low Processing Fees

If you’re paying processing fees, now’s the time to stop with our free merchant services solution. If you decide that a traditional merchant account is better for your business, you can’t beat our rates. Combine our customer service, incredibly low rates and our personalized solutions, and you’ve found a processing partner for life.

Rates Guaranteed for Life

You’ve probably seen it if not experienced it personally. Some credit card processing companies will do anything to make a dollar. Not us here at Dual Payments. We lock in your rate the day you sign up with us, even if it’s 0% through our free merchant services solution. You won’t find a statement in the future where we’ve hiked up your rates to make a few more bucks each month. Lock in your 0% rate today with Dual Payments.

Correct Acceptance Method

Determining the right payment acceptance method is the most important thing to get right when setting up your merchant account. Having your account set up the wrong way can mean you’re paying way too high a percentage per swipe. With the Dual Payments zero fee solution, you don’t have to worry about any of that! Skip the frustration and get the account where your business pays 0% per transaction.

Easy to use equipment

There’s nothing more frustrating than setting up a new merchant account and then not knowing how to use the equipment. Our customer service team makes sure that you have all you need to get started right out of the box! No messing around guessing at how things are supposed to work. We give you the dream setup experience so you’re up and running within minutes of your delivery arrival.

No Hidden Fees

This is yet another of the shenanigans that we don’t take part in. Hidden fees are the primary way that most credit card processing companies gouge you for extra money each month. Don’t settle for the made up fees that most processing companies try to hook you with. Batch fees, Annual Fees and many others are added as a standard to merchant accounts. I bet if you check your current merchant statement that you’ll find some of these bogus fees that you’re paying right now. Don’t settle for this kind of behavior. Vote with your business and partner with a merchant services company that you can trust to treat you right.

  • Brokering – When a third party is involved with selling a product the risk level goes up ten fold.
