Do you want me to regret bringing you on as a client?

Sometimes, you have to ask your prospective clients tough questions. When you work in a retention industry like I do, the only thing worse than not landing an account is landing the account with margins so thin you're basically working for free. In today's economy, we're seeing the commoditization of almost everything. This is due to a...

High Dollar Declines

There are a number of reasons your customer's card is declined. Maybe they don't have the funds available. Perhaps you keyed in the card number wrong. It's possible that the AVS (address verification service) failed because the billing address entered is incorrect and your gateway is set up to decline such transactions. There are a host of reasons...

The Unlucky Clover

First off let me say that this is not a knock on the POS itself, its manufacturers, or anyone who uses it. However, it is most certainly an indictment of the ISO's (independent sales organizations) and MSP's (merchant services providers) who push business owners to lease this product. In the payment processing world, Clovers are...

Cause For Advocacy

Have you ever heard the saying, “One bad apple spoils the barrel?” It’s true, ya know. An overripe, spoiled apple will emit significantly higher levels of ethylene gas causing other apples around it to overripen as well. We often use this saying or variations of it to describe how low character people can be bad influences on...

The Flat-Rate Unicorn

There are a number of companies advertising simple, flat-rate pricing. Many times it's neither simple nor flat. This pricing model gambles on the kinds of cards a business is accepting. One popular "flat-rate pricing" company advertises a simple "2.75%" per swipe. That sounds great, right? Well, not really. Because...

What Magothy Payments means to the people we serve...

Magothy Payments came as a recommendation from our accountant who realized how much we were paying with our old company. Jaron made the process very easy by reviewing our old statements to see if there was any room for saving. After our consultation, he offered to use Magothy payments for one month and if we didn't see any savings we had the option to walk away without losing anything. Jaron has been upfront from the beginning and has been there promptly to address any concerns we have with our system. I highly recommended Magothy Payments!

Worldwide Waterproofing changed payment processing companies in 2016 after 14 years of being with the same provider. We had a great initial meeting with Jaron and felt comfortable with his knowledge and expertise. Working with a local company that is easily accessible made sense for us. We hadn't really tracked our credit card costs over the last several years, so we were BLOWN AWAY when we saved more than $2000 in our first month alone. This was the by far the best decision we could have made. We get our deposits next day, the platform is easy to use, and we finally have a relationship with the company funding our transactions. I couldn't recommend Magothy Payments enough.

Summer Hoder, Worldwide Waterproofing

Magothy Payments has been GREAT for our business. We get calls from merchant services vendors every day. But when you need service from THEM, they are nowhere to be found. This never happens with Jaron and his team. Their personalized service is outstanding, and our costs are down too! I highly recommend you consider Magothy Payments for your business.

Bruce Spencer, Walt Eger's Service Center

The team at Magothy Payments is nothing short of SPECTACULAR and I can't recommend them enough! If you are tired of wondering if you are paying too much for your credit card processing and harassing daily calls about saving you money, I can assure you that Magothy Payments is your BEST option. Local, Personal and Professional, their integrity shines through at every service opportunity. The statements are transparent, the rates are the lowest, and they are focused on a long-term relationship that will save you money. Everyone that I have referred comes back to me very satisfied and glad that they made the change.
