FeeSlicers was built by two people who spent years inside the industry — and got tired of watching good businesses lose money they didn't have to lose.
About fifteen years ago, Aaron and George built a payment processing company from the ground up. Aaron ran the technology. George ran the sales. Together they grew it, scaled it, and eventually sold it.
That company was PayLeap.
During those years we worked with hundreds of merchants across dozens of industries. We saw firsthand how the processing fee structure worked — and who it worked for. Spoiler: it wasn't the merchants.
The card networks set the rules. The big processors built their margins on top. And merchants — restaurants, shops, service businesses, hardworking people running real operations — just absorbed it. Month after month, year after year, quietly paying 2–3% of every dollar they earned back to an invisible system they didn't choose and couldn't negotiate with.
Most of them didn't even know there was another option.
Over the past several years, federal law and card network rule updates have made it fully legal for merchants to offset their processing costs — through dual pricing, surcharging, and cash discount programs. Done correctly, these programs can eliminate processing fees almost entirely.
It's not new. It's not a loophole. Gas stations have been doing a version of this for decades.
But here's the problem: the information is scattered, the compliance rules are confusing, and most processors either don't offer these programs well or have no incentive to tell you about them. A merchant paying 2.9% in fees every month is a merchant generating margin for someone else.
We saw that gap. And we decided to do something about it.
After PayLeap, Aaron stayed in tech. George stayed in payments — building relationships with merchants, learning the evolving landscape, watching these programs gain traction and legitimacy.
When we reconnected, the opportunity was obvious. George had the merchant relationships and the sales knowledge. Aaron had the technical background to build the digital infrastructure. And together we had something most players in this space don't: we'd actually built a payment company. We know what's behind the curtain.
FeeSlicers isn't a lead generation site that passes you off to a call center. It's two people who understand this industry deeply, who have built trust with merchants over many years, and who believe that the best way to build a sustainable business is to actually help the people we work with.
If dual pricing or surcharging is right for your business, we'll set you up correctly and support you through it. If it's not the right fit, we'll tell you that too.
That's the whole thing.
Every dollar a merchant saves on processing fees is a dollar that stays in their business — to pay their staff, invest in their operation, or just take home at the end of a long week.
We started FeeSlicers because we believe merchants deserve to know their options. And we think the best way to earn your trust is to give you real information, real numbers, and real conversations — not a sales pitch.

You won't get a ticket number when you reach out. You won't be handed off to someone who doesn't know your account. When you work with FeeSlicers you're working with Aaron and George — two people who have been in this industry long enough to do it right and care enough to do it honestly.
If that sounds like the kind of partner you want, we'd love to talk.
