You're probably overpaying to get paid.
Flat-rate and bundled processors bury their markup in a single blended rate. Telebridge moves you to transparent interchange-plus pricing through our Paystone partnership — and shows you the difference in dollars before you switch a thing.

Blended & flat rates
One tidy percentage bundles true card cost with the processor's margin, so you can't see what you're actually paying for.
Tiered "qualified" pricing
Rewards and business cards quietly get bumped into pricier tiers — the categories are designed to be hard to predict.
Statement junk fees
PCI fees, statement fees, batch fees, "non-compliance" charges — small lines that add up to real money each month.
Nobody to call
When a rate creeps up or a deposit is late, you're on hold with a call centre that doesn't know your business.
How Telebridge lowers your payment processing fees.
Interchange-plus, not a blended rate
You pay true interchange — the non-negotiable card-network cost everyone pays — plus one clearly stated Paystone markup. The margin stops hiding, and it's usually well below a flat blended rate.
Next-day deposits & readable statements
Funds settle to your account the next business day, and every fee is itemized on a statement you can actually read — no bundled mystery line. Pair it with gift cards & loyalty when the goal is repeat business.
Keep it simple, or upgrade
Smart terminals, countertop, mobile, and online checkout on Paystone hardware — with no multi-year lock-in and no early-termination fees to trap you.
A local team that picks up
Telebridge handles the switch, the setup, and the ongoing support in-house across Western Canada — a real person who knows your account, not a ticket queue.
Typical processor vs. Telebridge + Paystone.
Lower fees are only half the win.
Anyone can hand you a card machine. What sets Telebridge apart is transparent Paystone pricing and a local team that actually manages your account — so you keep more of every sale, and keep it.

Common questions
For most businesses, yes — a flat rate has to pad above the priciest card types to protect the processor's margin. Interchange-plus charges true card cost plus one fixed markup, so you're not subsidizing that padding. We confirm the exact difference on your statement before you switch.
None hidden. Interchange itself is set by the card networks and is the same for everyone — the only variable is the processor's markup, which with Paystone is stated plainly. If your current rate is already lower than our estimate, we'll tell you.
Often not — many setups can keep working while we transition. Where an upgrade helps, Paystone smart terminals and POS systems are available without a multi-year lock-in.
Typically a few business days from approved application to live terminals. We coordinate the setup locally so there's no gap in taking payments.
No. Paystone payments through Telebridge are month-to-month with no early-termination fee — we'd rather earn the relationship than trap it.
