The problem

Your processor statement
is hiding something.

Most small businesses overpay on card processing fees for years without ever knowing it.

Rate creep

A processor billing 2.31% instead of your contracted 2.10% never throws an error. It silently skims every transaction, every day.

Junk fees

"Regulatory fee," "AVS surcharge," "statement fee" — processor-invented charges buried in your statement that cost nothing to remove if you know to ask.

Missing deposits

Timing gaps and partial deposits can mean money you're owed hasn't arrived in your bank — and nobody tells you.

The average merchant we analyze is overpaying $200–$800/month. That's $2,400–$9,600/year.

How it works

3 steps. 5 minutes.

No accounting degree required.

01

Upload your statement

Drag in your processor statement (Stripe, Square, Clover, Heartland, or CSV from any processor) and your bank statement.

02

We check the math

PayRecon compares what you contracted to pay vs. what you actually paid vs. what hit your bank account.

03

Get your report

You get a clear summary: what was found, what it cost you, and exactly what to say when you call your processor.
