Comparing
Prices and Features
The following charts
reflect some rate and special program comparisons between Equifax
Check Services and CrossCheck, Inc. Each of these companies has
published "standard pricing" for ISOs to utilize in the field. It
should be made clear that these prices are by no means the lowest
price that either company quotes for these SIC (Standard Industry
Classifications) Codes, but rather are basic pricing for new
businesses or a starting point for sales. Please note the asterisk
where Equifax has the lower industry price.
In the case of
"Special Programs," both CrossCheck and Equifax quote increases or
decreases to standard pricing based on providing special benefits or
features to a customer. These include changing the method of approval
to something other than driver's license, shortening or lengthening
claims processing timeframes, or using such premiums or features as
Stop Payment Coverage.
