Reverse My Fees (RMF) is a reseller of merchant processing services. The company offers a service known as zero-fee processing, which effectively adds a surcharge of up to 4% onto merchants' customer's transactions. That 4% surcharge is then used to offset the merchants' interchange fees. This arrangement effectively shifts the burden of interchange fees from the merchant to their cardholding customer.

RMF is an ISO/MSP of Total Merchant Services (TMS). The acquiring bank used by TMS is Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Concord, CA.

The company was registered in 2016, with headquarters in Lafayette, Louisiana. The company was co-founded by Richard Suhm, the company's current CEO.

Reverse My Fees Overview

 

RMF was founded in 2016 by Richard Suhm and is headquartered in Lafayette, LA. The company is a reseller of merchant processing services and offers merchants the option to pass along the processing interchange fees onto their credit card customers. Although the company's name implies that merchant processing fees are somehow being 'reversed,' they are being shifted from the merchant to the consumer. Nonetheless, RMF offerings are transparent, albeit with some complexity of a relatively new product within the merchant processing industry.

RMF is a subsidiary of Electronic Exchange Systems LA. RMF is also has a dba registration as ReversePAY in the state of Florida.

RMF service allows businesses to offer a discount to customers paying with cash while applying a surcharge for credit cardholders, much to major credit card brands' chagrin. Such products within the payment processing industry have begun gathering traction and popularity among merchants as more and more 'zero payment' or 'surcharge' payment processing vendors start marketing these services.

RMF has been accredited with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) since 2018 and holds an A+ rating. There have been zero complaints against RMF in the past 36 months. There were also no complaints against RMF on any online forums. The limited customer feedback may also result from a still-growing niche that RMF operates within the payment processing industry. It may also be that the service has yet to grow and gain merchant clients.

RMF appears to hire outside sales teams to market the company's offering. The company's website has a section to hire sales agents to expand its market and product usage. Although hiring an outside sales team can often lead to a degraded sales experience due to a lack of oversight and training, it seems like RMF has adequate controls to control the sales tactics employed, judging from the absence of any complaints about the company.

Reverse My Fees Contract & Terms

IMF's service is not available for merchants in states where zero-processing for paying by credit card is illegal. Zero-processing is allowed in some states with strict guidelines, merchants giving their customers and acquiring banks advance notification of their intention of adding surcharges. Furthermore, those surcharges cannot exceed 4% and are only applicable to credit card transactions.

Merchants should carefully review their specific state regulatory guidelines and the competitive impact and consumer sentiment of such a feature.
