## The 3.54% figure

BlueFinch calculated an average all-in effective processing rate of 3.54% from complete pre-conversion statements across its clients and all card types. The calculation divides every processor-assessed fee shown on the statement by settled card sales for the same period. The statements are private merchant records.

This figure is first-party BlueFinch client data. It is not a national average, a quoted rate, or a savings promise. The complete method and public comparison sources are in the 2026 Credit Card Processing Cost Report.

## Current program language

- Eligible credit-card transactions receive a 0% merchant processing rate when configured under approved written program terms.
- BlueFinch's current offer includes a standalone terminal at no charge, without an equipment lease, long-term contract, or cancellation fee.
- The 0% merchant credit-card rate does not remove monthly, debit, PCI, chargeback, gateway, batch, or other charges listed in the account terms.
- Approval, pricing display, debit treatment, network rules, and state requirements depend on the merchant and written program terms.
