texte = Hi Joe, Are you sure about Amex only charging you $5.00? The discount rate is a Visa/MasterCard rate but Amex is a seperate account that usually has a flat rate of 3.5% and they hold your money an additional 2 days.=20 Same applies to Discover, unless AMEX just recently changed something. I can setup an account with a Merchant Account, but the rate depends on industry and product. The AuthNet cost is $149.00 setup fee, $15.00 per month and $0.25 per transaction. The contract is month to month with a $5.00 statement fee. If you already have a merchant account and just want a comparison, we will do a side by side comparison to see if we can save you some money. Just send me an email, Sal D'Anna On 9/20/05, Joe D'Andrea
