Best Answer

No. However, there are often annual fees, application fees or late fees that apply, the details of which have to be revealed to the applicant. Some have no annual fee credit cards. It is important to always read the terms & conditions and all fine print thoroughly so that you fully understand all costs associated with a particular credit card.

What costs are there for a small business to accept credit cards?

The costs involved in small businesses accepting credit cards are quite high. Small businesses are charged a fee per credit card transaction. This fee will vary from country to country. It is common among most - if not all - major credit cards, that the transaction fee increases when a "premium" credit card is used. These "premium" cards allow the cardholder to reap rewards, while the business owner suffers. In Canada, for example, the transaction fee ranges from approximately 2% to 3% per transaction (for Visa and MasterCard).


Why do companies still take checks and not just cash debit or credit?

For the bottom dollar. People don't always carry cash or have credit cards. You want to increase sales? Make the purchase easier for the customer.

For example: Certain floral (flower shops) support companies (like FTD) offer credit card processing for their customers - the benefit is that they can accept almost any credit card ... down side is that the fees, charges and hidden costs can run upwards of 6% of the total sale to the owner... that's on top of the absolutely deplorable monthly statements they send that probably could have been more concise if drawn up by a team of 2 year olds with large boxes of crayons.
