FAQs

  • While Twelve45 can function similarly to a broker, our role goes beyond simple matchmaking. We act as an auxiliary business consultant, meaning we don’t just connect you with a service—we take the time to understand your business, analyze your needs, and provide strategic recommendations that align with your goals.

    As your first point of contact and dedicated account management team, we ensure a seamless experience.

    Unlike a traditional broker, our focus is not just on transactions but on long-term business growth, cost savings, and operational efficiency. We remain involved to ensure that the solutions we recommend continue to serve your business effectively.

  • In Canada, credit and debit card processing rates are federally regulated, meaning all payment processors and merchant service providers start with the same base rates. However, the final rate you receive depends on factors such as your business type, transaction volume, and—most importantly—the relationship you have with your provider.

    At Twelve45, we leverage our industry expertise, partnerships, and negotiation power to secure the most competitive rates tailored to your business. By understanding your unique needs and advocating on your behalf, we help ensure you’re not overpaying while still receiving the best service and support.

  • At TWELVE45, we take a proactive, multi-pronged approach to troubleshooting and problem-solving, ensuring your business experiences minimal downtime and remains payment-ready at all times.

    Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all support model, we coordinate across multiple specialized teams—including technical support, billing, and account management—to address issues efficiently and effectively. Whether you’re facing a system error, a billing discrepancy, or an account-related concern, our team works swiftly to identify the root cause and implement the best possible solution.

    By streamlining communication and leveraging our industry expertise, we ensure that challenges are resolved quickly, accurately, and with minimal disruption to your business operations. Our goal is simple: to keep your business running smoothly so you can focus on what matters most—your customers.

  • The setup timeline depends on the specific needs of your business and the complexity of the implementation. However, in most cases, the initial setup is completed within 24-48 hours.

    For more advanced integrations or custom solutions, timelines may vary, but our team works efficiently to ensure a smooth and timely onboarding process. We prioritize getting you up and running as quickly as possible while ensuring everything is set up correctly for long-term success.

  • The PG ensures that if the business closes or goes out of business, a responsible individual guarantees payment of any outstanding fees.

    It is not tied to the total transaction volume processed but specifically to outstanding processing fees.

  • When a PG is signed, the underwriter reviews both the business’s financials and the owner’s personal credit to assess credibility.

    This additional assurance helps secure approval for the account with more favorable terms.

    In short, a PG is not required, however, it can lead to a smoother onboarding process.
