Should You Accept Credit Cards? A Cost-Benefit Analysis

Do the processing fees outweigh the faster payment times? We look at the data for small businesses.

The Speed vs. Cost Debate

For many small businesses, the 2.9% transaction fee can feel like a lot. However, the data shows that credit card enabled invoices are paid 3x faster than traditional bank transfers.

1. Reduced Follow-up Time

Every minute spent chasing a check is a minute you aren't billing. Accepting cards through Viilyx automates the collection process, saving you hours of admin work.

2. Built-in Security

Credit card payments are more secure than cash or checks, which can be lost or bounce. Our integrated payment partners provide world-class fraud protection for every transaction.

3. Customer Convenience

In 2026, many clients prefer paying with corporate cards to earn rewards and simplify their own accounting. Making it easy for them to pay you is a competitive advantage.
