Merchant account

Merchant Account for Small Business

Your own dedicated merchant account — underwritten for your business, funded fast, and priced with zero processing fees.

A merchant account is the bank account that receives card payments before they settle into your business checking account. Aggregators like Square and Stripe pool thousands of businesses under one shared account, which is why their merchants see sudden holds and frozen funds. A dedicated merchant account from Tasskel Pay is underwritten for your business specifically, with limits set from your real volume, so funding stays predictable as you grow.

Dedicated merchant account vs payment aggregator

With an aggregator you sign up in minutes but share risk with every other seller on the platform, and any unusual spike can trigger a reserve or account freeze. A dedicated merchant account takes a short application up front, then gives you stable processing limits, your own merchant ID, and a real support team who can see your account.

  • Your own merchant ID and underwriting
  • Processing limits set from your actual volume and average ticket
  • Fewer surprise holds and reserves

Merchant account fees with Tasskel Pay

Tasskel Pay merchant accounts run on a zero-fee cash discount program by default, so there are no per-transaction, statement, or batch fees taken from your deposits, with a flat $25 monthly fee for unlimited processing. Merchants who prefer traditional pricing can choose interchange-plus instead. Equipment is included with approval and there is no long-term contract.
