Holding Payment Processors Accountable
This website was launched in 2009 as a modest blog dedicated to exposing questionable marketing and pricing practices within the credit card processing industry and how they negatively impact business owners. What began as a side project has since evolved into a widely recognized platform advocating for transparency, accountability, and ethical standards in merchant services.
"It was infuriating watching shady merchant account providers take advantage of people, so I made it life's my mission to shed light upon and industry that siphons extreme profits from hard working business owners through complexity and overwhelm."
- Phillip Parker / Creator, Researcher, Author, and Advocate
