Hello Kathy..
        You can do a LOT better with Novus!  I use it.  It cost me $80 for 
the process fee AFTER they accept you, $11 per month for the swipe terminal, 
FREE supplies, no minimum, no other monthly.  They get 1.89% of each sale and 
they accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, AmEx, and others...which I don't use.
        Their toll free phone number is: 1-800-347-3375.
