My problem is more more city folk moving in. Most have never heard of cash or cheque. They live in a plastic world.

Cards that you deal on the phone with run 4.5%. Visa adds an additional 2% on, on top of that for the US $ to Cdn $ exchange. Thus 6.5%. The average business on sees 10% to 12% margin, so visa is taking more than half the profit. I have had enough of it.

No, just going to take the dealers checks instead of their visa.

That is illegal and would break the merchant agreement if you did it. Funny that you can say that you will give a discount for cash or cheque though.

No, it is a different company called Monaris that charges higher rates than in the USA, John. Down there, you actually have competition between Visa providers that keeps rates down. In Canada, we have no competition to do that. That is the difference.

Steamer: It is 4.5% for those merchants that use manuel paper deposits like I do. The other 2% you would never see if you don't deal in US$ like I do, because they add it on to the exchange rate charged at the time of purchase. This extra 2% is not charged if you got the money by check instead.
