CEO / CFO Special Edition · Confidential

You received this book
for a reason.

Kevin Harrington sent you The Great American Heist because hidden credit card fee overbilling is widespread, nearly impossible to detect, and almost never escalated to senior leadership.

What This Page Is

This is a private page for executives
who received the book directly.

If you’re here, you are exactly who this book was written for. Not a general audience. Not a sales funnel. A decision-maker with the authority, and the most to gain, from knowing what’s really going on inside your payment processing statements.

U.S. businesses are overbilled an estimated $100 to $200 billion in credit card processing fees every year. These aren’t easy-to-spot errors. The overbilling is buried inside complex statements, hidden markups, and intentionally confusing rate structures.

To make matters worse, many internal staff responsible for managing this area don’t want to admit they’ve missed it. Audit results get buried, ignored, or downplayed, never reaching senior leadership.

$100B+ Estimated annual overbilling of U.S. businesses
$10M+ Documented savings for a single client in one year
8.5+ Average years client relationships are maintained
$10K Smallest client to $64B in revenue, we serve both
Verified Track Record

Companies trust weAudit because
the work is verifiable.

Statement-Level Validation, not “trust us” opinions. Every finding is traceable to your actual statements.
Month-to-Month No long-term contracts. Relationship continues only because the value is real.
Executive-Ready Findings packaged in a summary your board, CFO, or legal team can act on immediately.

Overbilling hides where you don’t look. Downgrades, data issues, routing errors, and markup structures are the most common vectors, all buried in statements your team reviews but rarely validates.

Findings come packaged for executives. An executive summary your team can act on quickly, not a spreadsheet dropped on someone’s desk.

No conflict of interest. We don’t sell processing. We don’t take a percentage of your savings. Our only product is an independent validation.

Trusted from local operators to global brands. Our smallest client is a dry cleaner. Our largest moves $64 billion. Overbilling doesn’t discriminate by size.

The Audit Checklist

Eight things we validate
on every engagement.

These are the exact areas where processors overbill, buried in statements in ways that internal teams routinely miss. We check every one.

01

Non-Optimized Interchange Qualifications

Transactions qualifying at higher cost tiers than necessary, often due to data issues or processor setup that could be corrected.

02

Incorrect Interchange Flag

Improperly flagged transactions that force downgrades, costing more on every swipe without any visible explanation on your statement.

03

Incorrect MCC Code

The wrong Merchant Category Code can mean you’re paying rates designed for a completely different business type, for years.

04

Made-Up Fees

Line items with no legitimate basis, fabricated charges buried in the noise of a complex statement where few people look closely.

05

Inflated Fees

Legitimate fee categories that have been quietly marked up above contracted or industry-standard rates over time.

06

PCI Compliance Issues

Many businesses assume they are PCI compliant and aren’t.

07

Non-Returned Interchange Refunds

When a customer receives a refund, the interchange should return to you. Often it doesn’t, and no one notices.

08

Discount Rate Validation

Many businesses are paying double-digit discount rates that should only be paying 2-3 basis points.

The Process

How the confidential
validation works.

01
Step One

Upload Your Statements

Send us 1 recent merchant processing statement. 3 months is better, it gives us a more complete picture. If you have multiple merchant IDs, include the chain statement.

02
Step Two

We Validate Fees, Setup & Qualification

Our team examines pricing structure, qualification tiers, data issues, and routing. We look for what internal reviewers routinely miss, because they don’t know what they’re looking for.

03
Step Three

You Receive an Executive Summary

A clear, actionable summary of findings and next-step options. Formatted for you, not your accounting team. You decide who else sees it.

Typical turnaround: 7 to 10 business days depending on statement volume  ·  Results shared only with whoever you designate
Protecting Your Privacy

Minimal ask.
Maximum insight.

Confidential Fee Validation

Straight Answers

Frequently asked
questions.

Do you sell credit card processing?
No. We are an independent audit firm. We don’t sell processing, recommend processors for commission, or benefit from switching you to anyone.
Do you take a percentage of savings?
No. Our fee structure is transparent and fixed, not contingency-based. Your savings are entirely yours.
Do you require long-term contracts?
No. Month-to-month relationship. The engagement continues because the value is real, not because you’re locked in.
Will this disrupt our operations?
No. We start with your statements. No systems access, no operational involvement, no disruption to your team’s work.
Who sees the results?
Whoever you choose. We format findings for executives and share results only with the contacts you designate.
What if my team already reviewed our fees?
Internal review and independent validation are fundamentally different. We know exactly where processors hide overbilling because our team came from inside the industry.
