What Happens After You Upload Your Statement?
If you’ve ever uploaded a credit card processing statement before, you probably know what happens next. Suddenly you’re getting calls and emails from random reps trying to convince you to switch processors or sign a new POS contract. Sometimes it’s the same guy five times in a row. Other times it’s companies you’ve never even heard of. All of them are promising the lowest rates and claiming you’ve been overpaying.
I hate that.
It’s one of the reasons Trailblaze exists. When you upload your statement with us, none of that happens. No spam. No pressure to switch anything. No one else will ever see your info. Everything you send is completely confidential. And we keep it that way.
Here’s what actually happens when you submit your statement to Trailblaze Torch.
Step 1: We review your statement
We go through your statement line by line, looking at what you’re really paying. We calculate your effective rate, check for hidden processor markups, flag junk fees, and determine whether you’re being charged fairly.
Statements are designed to be confusing. We make them make sense.
Step 2: You get a simple breakdown
Typically same day, we send back a short summary of your current setup. It includes:
What you’re paying
How that compares to fair market pricing
Whether your current plan is competitive or overpriced
A high-level estimate of what you could be saving
If everything looks fair, we’ll tell you that. If there are issues, we’ll show you where they are.
This part is free. No catch.
Step 3: Want help fixing it? That’s what we’re here for
Once you’ve got your breakdown, you decide if you want us to go further. If you do, that’s when our monthly monitoring service begins.
With a subscription, we’ll help you handle the negotiation. Some processors require the business owner to be involved directly, but we guide you every step of the way and do as much of the work as they’ll allow. We’ll even handle the outreach for you if your processor permits it. Our goal is to take this off your plate, not add more to it.
You don’t need to switch anything. We work with whatever setup you already have.
Uploading a statement doesn’t mean change. It means peace of mind.
Most small business owners never get clarity on their processing fees. They guess. Or assume they’re fine. Or avoid digging in because the statements are full of terms and codes that don’t mean anything to them.
Trailblaze exists to take that stress away. For less than a dollar a day, you get answers, confidence, and ongoing protection from unnecessary fees.
No pressure. No tricks. Just peace of mind.
