My monthly processing fees actually increased, I and got stuck with an expensive lease, 112.00 per month for five reals, irrevocable, for a processing terminal that retails for $350.00. Was told by customer service that they have to have a lease agreement because their rates are so good that it is the only way they can make a profit. I ask, why was my previous processor cheaper and abviously making a profit, and I didn't have a lease. Overall, counting the cost of the lease, my monthly fees doubled.

I was also told by paradigm direct customer service that they would arrange things so that the reduction in processing feels more than made up for the cost of the lease, but this was never done.
