If you’re like many small business owners, you might avoid accepting American Express® because of the higher fees they charge merchants. Although American Express® was once an elite card for the wealthy, the bank now offers several cards that meet the needs of a diverse range of borrowers. As more people use American Express®, failing to accept it may turn potential customers away — and negatively affect the bottom line of your business.

 

At NMS-US, we’re passionate about the success of your business. We want to see you succeed, because when you make money, so do we. That’s why we partner with American Express® to offer you OptBlue™, the newest service that specializes in making credit card transaction fees more affordable for small business owners.

 

What to Know About American Express® OptBlue™

 

American Express® launched the OptBlue™ program in May 2014. In the past, American Express® financed and processed each transaction — unlike Mastercard and Visa, which only process payments. With OptBlue™, American Express® card acceptance just got a lot less expensive, because participating acquirers take over the processing. That means you can expand your customer base to include those who only use American Express®, regardless of the card they own.
