As the flowers bloom and the days grow longer, spring isn’t just a time for cleaning your home — it’s also the perfect season to refresh your business finances. For small business owners, Q2 is a crucial time to get ahead before the busy summer season. And one of the most overlooked areas? Your payment processing setup.
At USB Payment Processing, we’re here to help you optimize your system, cut unnecessary costs, and improve your cash flow — all without disrupting your daily operations.
Here’s your payment processing spring-cleaning checklist:
1. Review Your Payment Processor Fees
When was the last time you actually looked at your processing statement?
Many small businesses are overpaying due to:
– Hidden surcharges
– Unnecessary monthly fees
– High non-qualified transaction rates
What to do:
Compare your current rates to industry standards. If you’re unsure what you’re being charged for, our team at USB can provide a free statement analysis — no strings attached.
2. Eliminate Hidden Charges
Processors often bury extra fees in the fine print: PCI non-compliance fees, batch fees, statement fees — you name it.
Pro tip:
If your provider isn’t being transparent, that’s a red flag. At USB, we believe in clear, honest pricing — no surprises.
3. Optimize for ACH & Contactless Payments
More customers are using mobile wallets, tap-to-pay cards, and even bank-to-bank (ACH) payments.
Why it matters:
– ACH transactions have lower fees than card payments
– Contactless payments improve checkout speed and satisfaction
USB makes it easy to enable both. Whether you’re running a storefront or invoicing clients online, we’ve got the tools to streamline it all.
4. Reassess Your Hardware & Software
Still using outdated terminals or clunky POS systems?
Now’s the time to upgrade to:
– NFC-enabled terminals
– Cloud-based POS systems
– Mobile readers for on-the-go businesses
Our tech works seamlessly across industries — and we help you switch with zero downtime.
5. Track Trends & Plan for Q2 Growth
Once your system is optimized, track your performance:
– Review transaction volume
– Measure average ticket size
– Identify peak hours or days
USB dashboards give you real-time insights to help you plan staffing, promotions, and inventory with confidence.
