The way Architecture Firms collect deposits, balances, and renewals is the real underwriting story. Day to day, milestone invoices paid by secure link, with corporate-card savings. The usual break points are business and government cards costing far more than they should and fraud and chargebacks on card-not-present orders. We configure level 2 & 3 optimization with interchange-plus pricing you can verify, plus invoicing & pay-by-link when you need it.
