I had a great time at TechWeek yesterday. I saw some friends, met some people I’ve been meaning to meet, heard some interesting speakers (and one terrible one who is a “career expert”), and took a look at a lot of new companies. One company that has grown a ton since I saw them at last year’s event (and got a lot of love at this year’s event) is FeeFighters. They’re a Chicago, IL based business that offers “a comparison shopping website for credit card processing.” You probably don’t realize it, but credit card processing is expensive. That’s why some businesses offer discounts if you pay in cash. Fees vary pretty widely, but they can often be as much as 3% of the purchase price. That can be especially troublesome in a low-margin, high-volume business.
While it’s unlikely that you’d ever use FeeFighters, there’s a good chance that you’ve used some sort of travel search engine to find the best price on a flight or hotel. FeeFighters’ site works the same way–they just help you find a credit card processor with a lower fee. It’s a total no-brainer. It’s free, and if you use FeeFighters once and find a new payment processor, you save money on every transaction you make going forward. The payment processor who wins your business pays a referral fee to FeeFighters (yes, the fighters of fees collect fees). It’s pretty simple, yet it’s earth-shattering for both small businesses and payment processors. While FeeFighters doesn’t have a ton of jobs yet, they are definitely growing. Right now their Jobs page shows that they’re only actively looking for an Infographic Designer, but don’t let that discourage you from reaching out to them if you think you’d fit in somewhere else.
