About MLS Direct Network

---

MLS Direct Network is a member owned network that was formed to offer processor direct pricing to its members who in turn pass these savings on to their prospective merchants.

MLS Direct operates similar to a non-profit organization in that it doesn't accumulate any significant profits at the corporate level. Most profits in excess of our streamlined operating costs are pushed out to our member/partners. This allows them to offer maximum savings to their prospective merchants. This concept is the exact opposite of the industry in general.

The typical provider in our industry retains a significant amount of the profits at the corporate level while the street level agent is forced to charge higher pricing to make up the difference at the expense of the merchant. We feel that this is a failed concept that has created a huge turnover in the processing industry. Our member/partners have a low attrition rate and are experiencing stabilized profits through better pricing. They are able to grow their individual offices without having to overcharge their respective merchants in the process.

Benefits to Merchants using the Network:

• MLS Direct Network offers what merchants need the most - cutting-edge payment products and solutions at wholesale prices and excellent ongoing support and service.
• The makeup of the network allows it to leverage its collective volume to gain strategic pricing throughout the electronic payment industry and, thus, enables its member/partners to offer wholesale pricing to their merchants.
• In addition to receiving excellent pricing, MLS Direct merchants benefit from the expertise and commitment level of the member/partners. Our merchants receive a high level of ongoing professional consultation because they are dealing directly with the owners of the company rather than with transient agents that are severely lacking in industry knowledge.
