I am looking for a merchant account provider that does not charge a discount rate. Does anyone here know if such a company exists? I am looking to collect payments in the 800-1000 dollar range and the typical discount rate of 1.5% to 2% would wipe out my profit on those transactions.

Example: I collect $800 from a client plus a $3.99 (my profit) processing fee. If this payment is processed through a merchant account with a 2% discount rate, I will be paying $16 to that merchant provider. That puts me in a $12 hole before any other expenses.

I have been handling these transactions through ACH transfers but many clients are asking to pay with credit cards and I feel I'm losing a lot of potential clients because I don't take credit card. I have tried calling the major merchant providers to see if they can offer me a lower discount rate but I am getting no where.

Any ideas to get around this issue???

thanks for the help.
