Payments — for organisations that take money seriously

Clear
rates.

Most organisations have no idea what they actually pay to take a payment. Telos One reads your statements, shows you the real cost line by line, and moves you onto fair rails — cards, Interac, and recurring giving — with no lock-in.

Use the calculator below with your own numbers. It's the same math we run on your statements — no sales call required to see it.

EST. SAVINGS see calc ↓
INTERAC
SETTLEMENT 1–2 days
LOCK-IN none
What you keep, per $100 $97.50 on an illustrative Telos rate — vs roughly $96.80 on a common flat rate. Small per sale, large per year.
The leak nobody reads Interchange, assessments, and processor markup are bundled into one rate on most statements — so the markup hides in plain sight. We separate it out.
The math · runs in your browser

What are you actually paying?

Drag in your monthly card volume and a typical transaction size. We compare a common flat rate against an illustrative Telos rate. Nothing is sent anywhere — this runs entirely on your device.

Illustrative rates: typical flat rate 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction vs. Telos 2.2% + 20¢. Your real rate depends on your card mix and is confirmed after a free statement review — often interchange-plus, which can land lower still.

Typical flat rate $755 3.0% effective · per month
Telos rate $567 2.3% effective · per month
You'd keep about $2,256/yr $188 more every month — back to your mission, not your processor.
How it works · no pressure
STEP 01

Send us a statement

One recent processing statement. We read the fees most providers bury — interchange, markup, assessments, the lot.

STEP 02

See the real cost

We show you, line by line, what you pay today and what you'd pay on fair rails. No obligation, no sales theatre.

STEP 03

We move the rails

If switching is worth it, we handle setup and migration — online, recurring, and in-person — with your payouts uninterrupted.

What's included

One provider. One readable statement.

Every way your supporters and customers pay, routed the cheapest legitimate way — and priced where you can see it.

01 / Online & recurring

Checkout and giving that converts

Hosted or embedded checkout, subscriptions, and monthly giving — with the fees shown, never hidden in the rate.

Lower rates
02 / In-person

Terminals for the room

Tap-to-pay and terminals for events, galas, and storefronts — on the same transparent pricing as online.

Included
03 / Interac & local rails

The methods people actually use

Interac for Canadian payers and the local methods your audience prefers, routed the cheapest legitimate way.

Canada-ready
04 / Statements

Numbers you can read

Plain monthly statements showing exactly what you paid and why. No surprise line items, no creative math.

Always

We started Telos One to expose the people quietly overcharging good organisations. Payments is where the overcharging is easiest to hide — so it's where we look first.

↳ Why we lead with a free statement review

Questions we get asked
Do I have to switch providers?

No. We start with a review of what you already pay. If your current setup is genuinely competitive, we'll tell you and leave it alone. The point is an honest read, not a forced switch.

What does the review cost?

Nothing. Send one recent statement and we'll show you the real cost line by line, plus what fair rails would save. You only pay if you decide to move — and you'll know the numbers first.

Are the calculator's rates your real rates?

They're illustrative, to show the shape of the savings. Your actual rate depends on your card mix and volume, which we confirm from your statement — often on interchange-plus pricing, which can land lower than the flat rate shown here.

Can you handle both in-person and online?

Yes — one provider, one statement, covering online checkout, recurring giving, Interac, and in-person terminals. Fewer logins, fewer reconciliations, one number to read each month.
