This is an example analysis for a mid-volume hardware retailer (Vista Hardware Co.) processing approximately $185,420 monthly across 824 transactions, with an average ticket of $225. The current processor charges an interchange-plus structure with a 0.65% markup, a $0.20 per-transaction fee, a $35 monthly service fee, and small ancillary fees for PCI compliance and statements — adding up to an effective rate of about 2.58%. Blackstone's proposal keeps the interchange pass-through unchanged (that portion goes to Visa, Mastercard, AMEX and Discover regardless of who processes), reduces the markup from 0.65% to 0.25%, lowers the per-transaction fee from $0.20 to $0.15, and removes the monthly service fee, PCI fee and statement fee. The estimated monthly savings is $947.78 — about 20% lower fees on an annualized basis of roughly $11,373. This is exactly the kind of breakdown the analyzer produces for any merchant statement you upload. The numbers above are illustrative; your actual savings depend on your card mix, volume, and the specific line items on your statement.
