ZyraCreative DirectorWe know Melissa.
Melissa is small enough that word of mouth still does most of the work, and growing fast enough that it no longer covers everything. We are twenty-five minutes down the highway in Frisco.
The difference is what we leave out.
Most processors add markup, bury fees, and tie you to a contract. We go bank-direct, so more of it stays in Melissa.
The honest way
- ✓Bank-direct pricing, no agent markup
- ✓100% transparent fees, reviewed line by line
- ✓No contracts, no early-termination traps
- ✓A named relationship manager who picks up
- ✓We flag industry rate changes before they hit you
The usual way
- ✕Hidden agent markup baked into your rate
- ✕Junk fees buried in a confusing statement
- ✕Multi-year contracts with cancellation penalties
- ✕A 1-800 ticket queue and hold music
- ✕Surprise rate creep you find out about later
