Comparing with an agent instead of picking one
Moving from one provider to another by yourself means collecting quotes from each and reading every contract. CELER Merchants is an independent agent, not a processor: you send one statement, we name every fee, and we bring back offers from the providers we work with. The service costs you $0 because the provider you choose pays us. Start with the statement analysis or the savings calculator, and see CELER Merchants vs Paysafe for the direct comparison.

Questions
Other providers on our list include Nuvei, Moneris, Global Payments, Adyen. Each has its own page showing what it publishes. The better question is which one is cheaper for your account, which depends on your card mix and volume, and which a statement analysis answers.
No. A statement analysis does not commit you to anything. Read your current agreement first for its term, renewal and early termination rules, and do not cancel until a replacement is approved and ready.
