Where the money leaks
The fees quietly draining your margin.
None of these show up in the rate a processor quotes you. They live in the fine print of the statement — and month after month, they add up to real money. A free review finds the ones you can cut.
PCI “non-compliance” fee
Billed when your compliance paperwork lapses — usually avoidable.
Statement / “regulatory” fee
A recurring monthly charge for essentially nothing.
Batch & settlement fees
A little skim every time you close out the day.
Monthly minimum shortfall
A penalty for the months your volume dips below their target.
Annual service fee (amortized)
A once-a-year charge, quietly spread across your statements.
Adds up to
$77.55/mo≈ $930/yr
Why DM Capital
Stop overpaying. Switch to a local you can call.
The big processors charge more, bury fees in the statement, and put a bot between you and your money. Here's how DM Capital compares — on published rates, as of July 2026.
| Processor | Rate | Support | The catch | Local |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Square | 2.6% + 15¢ | App + email | Sudden account freezes | — |
| Stripe | 2.9% + 30¢ | Email + docs | Built for developers | — |
| PayPal | 2.99% + 49¢ | Bots + phone queue | Holds on your funds | — |
| DM Capital Services | 0% with dual pricing | Danny's cell, direct | No lock-in, ever | ✓ Suffolk & Nassau |
Published standard rates as of July 2026; provider plans, qualifications, and promotions vary. With compliant dual pricing the card fee is disclosed and passed through, so eligible businesses can bring their own processing cost to near zero.
How dual pricing worksDual pricing, done right
Two prices, shown honestly.
Post a cash price and a card price, disclosed clearly at the register. Card customers cover the processing fee; cash customers don't. Set up to New York's signage and receipt rules, it can bring your processing cost close to zero — without surprising a single customer.

The overpay check
How much are cards really costing you?
Two numbers off your statement. We'll show what you're paying now — and a rough estimate of what a leaner setup could put back in your pocket.
Not sure? It's total fees ÷ card volume. Most owners land between 2.7% and 3.9%.

From the founder
A quick note from Danny.
Most owners I meet have never had anyone actually read their processing statement, line by line. They sign up once, and the fees just creep. I built DM Capital Services to be the opposite of that.
When you call, you get me — not a queue, not account #4,072 in someone's book. I'll read your statement, tell you straight where you're overpaying, and if your setup is already a good deal, I'll tell you that too.
- You get my cell — not a call center.
- Free statement review, back in 48 hours.
- A straight answer, even if it’s “keep what you have.”
- Long Island local — I’ll come to your counter.
