CELER Merchants vs Paysafe
CELER Merchants is an independent agent, not a processor: we make the providers we work with compete for your account, and the service costs you $0. Paysafe is a payments provider, and we found no processing rates on the pages we read. This page sets out what Paysafe says on its own site, where it is strong, and where an agent can help.
What Paysafe is
Paysafe Limited (NYSE: PSFE) describes itself as a global payments platform with a strong focus on iGaming, video gaming, e-commerce, online trading, retail, travel and hospitality.

Paysafe's website footer says Paysafe Merchant Services Corp. is a registered Independent Sales Organization/MSP of Fifth Third Bank, N.A.

What CELER Merchants is
We do not process payments and we do not hold your money. We read your statement, name every fee (usually within 4 hours), then take your profile to the providers we work with and show you every offer that comes back. You choose. The provider you choose pays us, so the service costs you $0. CELER Merchants is an independent agent and referral partner, not a processor.

Where an agent can help
- Reading what you pay today. Send a statement and we name every fee and work out your effective rate (total fees divided by total card volume).
- Shopping more than one provider. Paysafe will quote you Paysafe. We take the same statement to several providers and bring the offers back side by side.
- Negotiating and checking the paper. Rates, monthly fees, equipment terms and exit terms are what we ask for in writing before you sign.
Which fits you?
Because Paysafe does not publish processing rates on the pages we read, the only reliable way to compare is against your own numbers. Ask Paysafe for a written quote and compare it with your effective rate. Our statement analysis does that comparison for you, and the savings calculator gives a first estimate in about a minute. We are happy to tell you when your current pricing is already good.
