Compassion Processing launches the Fee Fixer Initiative, blending transparent payment processing with community impact for U.S. businesses.
When Roger and Amy Sullivan first began listening closely to small business owners, one frustration surfaced again and again. Month after month, entrepreneurs reviewed credit card statements that felt impossible to decipher. Fees fluctuated. Costs appeared without warning. Profits quietly eroded. For owners who poured their time, energy, and savings into building something meaningful, the experience felt less like partnership and more like penalty.
That moment of clarity became the starting point for Compassion Processing, a mission driven merchant services company built on a simple but often overlooked principle. Businesses deserve transparency, predictability, and respect. From that belief, the Sullivans set out to create an alternative to the traditional payment processing model, one rooted not only in clarity but also in compassion.
A Mission Grounded In Fairness And Purpose
Compassion Processing was founded with a clear goal. Help U.S. businesses eliminate credit card processing fees through transparent, compliant solutions while giving back to the communities they serve. Rather than competing on confusing rate structures or teaser pricing, the company chose to focus on education, honesty, and long term value.
At the center of this mission is the Fee Fixer Initiative, a nationwide program designed to help small and mid sized businesses offset the cost of accepting credit cards using a clear cash discount approach. The structure is compliant, straightforward, and designed to preserve the customer experience while reducing financial strain on business owners.
“Entrepreneurs work incredibly hard, and they should not lose profit to confusing statements or unexpected processing charges,” said Amy Sullivan, co founder of Compassion Processing. “Our goal is to give business owners clarity and control while helping their communities at the same time.”
This philosophy reflects the broader identity of Compassion Processing as a mission driven merchant services provider. Every decision is measured against its impact on both the business owner and the people connected to that business.
Confronting An Industry Built On Complexity
For decades, merchant services have been dominated by opaque pricing, percentage based fees, and dense statements that few business owners have time to analyze. Many entrepreneurs accept these challenges as unavoidable costs of doing business.
Roger and Amy Sullivan believed otherwise.
With more than 30 years of combined entrepreneurial experience, they recognized that complexity often benefits the processor, not the business owner. Compassion Processing was designed to reverse that dynamic by offering flat, predictable pricing and clear explanations that empower clients to understand exactly how their payments work.
“Businesses can absolutely thrive and do good at the same time,” said Roger Sullivan, co-founder and owner. “Every dollar saved helps a business grow, and every dollar donated helps strengthen a community.”
This emphasis on education and relationship based support has become one of the company’s defining traits. Clients are not treated as accounts but as partners who deserve answers, guidance, and consistency.
The Turning Point: The Fee Fixer Initiative
The launch of the Fee Fixer Initiative marked a pivotal moment for Compassion Processing. The program formalized the company’s approach into a scalable model that could serve businesses across the country without sacrificing its mission first values.
Through the initiative, businesses can adopt a compliant cash discount structure that helps offset traditional credit card acceptance costs. The model is presented transparently to customers, avoids hidden fees, and integrates seamlessly with widely used systems such as QuickBooks. Full U.S. based support ensures that clients have access to real people who understand their operations and priorities.
Early partners have reported clearer billing, simplified statements, and improved confidence in their payment processing decisions. Rather than chasing short term promotions, Compassion Processing focuses on consistency and long term relationships.
A Charity Powered Approach To Payments
What truly distinguishes Compassion Processing from other merchant services providers is its give back model. A portion of company profits is donated to vetted 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, allowing everyday transactions to contribute to meaningful causes.
This structure ensures that impact is not an afterthought or marketing slogan. It is embedded directly into the company’s operations. Each transaction processed through Compassion Processing supports both the business owner and the broader community.
For the Sullivans, this approach reflects deeply held values. Service, integrity, and generosity are not separate from business success. They are part of it.
Serving Businesses Across Industries
The Fee Fixer Initiative supports a wide range of industries, including medical and wellness practices, med spas, law firms, automotive shops, nonprofits, home service providers, retail stores, restaurants, and professional service firms. The program is designed for businesses processing from $10,000 to $300,000 or more per month.
Rather than offering one size fits all solutions, Compassion Processing prioritizes conversations that help determine whether its approach aligns with a business’s goals, customer experience, and operational needs. This measured, educational approach reinforces trust and sets realistic expectations.
A Different Kind Of Merchant Services Partner
Today, Compassion Processing stands as an example of what mission driven merchant services can look like when transparency and impact lead the way. By eliminating credit card processing fees through a clear cash discount model and reinvesting a portion of profits into nonprofit organizations, the company offers an alternative rooted in values rather than volume.
The Fee Fixer Initiative reflects a broader shift toward purpose driven business practices that respect both entrepreneurs and their customers. For business owners seeking clarity, predictability, and alignment with meaningful causes, Compassion Processing offers a thoughtful path forward.
