Besides the merchant discount (roughly 3%, depends on your deal and the card type) there are also other fees which add up quick. deposit fees, passthru fees, etc. read the small print and do the math. Most ISPIs work on
thin margins and high volume, getting your own merchant account might not be worth it in the end.
If you do decide to go it with your own merchant account, don't worry about a few CBs blowing you out of the water you have to have at least 100 CBs in a month before the 1% or 2.5% limits apply.
