Chicago, IL 60611-2678
To Whom It May Concern:
As a well-known and respected national professional organization, we are always looking for ways to maintain our high business standards, reduce expenses and do things more efficiently. We are constantly approached by many businesses wanting us to use their services. One valuable service that met all three criteria and actually surpassed our expectations was the credit card audit that was performed by PE Systems. Their professional manner and thoroughness has helped the ADA save a substantial amount of money and time without jeopardizing our important banking relationship. We came to fully appreciate how complex credit card processing is, and that having a true audit performed by outside experts was the best way to discover every saving opportunity. The ADA decided to implement most of the suggestions that were presented to us by PE Systems. We greatly appreciate the fact that they took very little of our time and will be paid based strictly on their performance and resulting savings.
We hold our vendors to the highest standards, and strongly recommend PE Systems to any organization or business that wants to save money on their credit card processing expenses.
Sincerely,
William T. Zimmerman
Chief Financial Officer

1801 Alexander Bell Drive
Reston, VA 20191-4400
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter in support of PE Systems and to inform of the positive and financially rewarding experience that we have had with them. Our organization is constantly besieged by processors making offers and bids for our business. While I was open to the possibility of researching alternative avenues to reduce our fees, as CFO of a very busy organization, I had neither the time nor the desire to try and translate the varying propositions and the multitude of ways that they are presented, I saw the value right away in the amount of time that would be saved by having an independent firm use their expertise in the payment processing industry to do the work and present back to us our options.
The results were not only financially rewarding in the amount of time saved, but also in the dollars recovered for our organization. I have been amazed by the multitude of possibilities that can create overcharges in our processing environment and have appreciated the education that PE Systems has provided regarding these additional hidden fees. I also value the attention that our account manager gives to even the most minute of details of our environment, which has in turn saved us additional dollars that we never would have been able to uncover on our own.
I highly recommend the professionals at PE Systems and the rewarding service that they provide.
Sincerely,
Peter Shavalay
Chief Financial Officer

New York, NY 10121-0701
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to recommend PE Systems and the expertise that they offer. When we were originally contacted by a PE Systems Sales Executive, we were extremely busy with other projects and were concerned that this would add to our workload. We thought that getting involved with the complexities of credit card fees, charges and rates would be overwhelming. We knew we were paying too much in fees and charges but had no idea how to attack the problem or how to gain the expertise to challenge the fees. We decided to wait to sign the contract until we had more time to focus on the project.
In the end our procrastination and concerns regarding the workload were ill founded. There was very little for us to do, the folks at PE Systems had all the expertise we needed. They did all of the analysis of our charges and monthly bills and presented it to us in a very concise and meaningful fashion. The savings we could achieve were significant and laid out for us very clearly. Our Contract Administrator and our Account Manager worked very hard with our multiple processors and vendors to achieve the savings for our organization. We have been continually pleased with the knowledge and support that they have provided and appreciate knowing that they are continually looking out for us.
We strongly recommend that you allow the professionals at PE Systems the opportunity to reduce the fees that you pay to accept credit cards.
Russell Harris
Director – Office of Financial Services

In the end our procrastination and concerns regarding the workload were ill founded.
They are truly experts in their field and found savings no one else had ever found for us. The PES professionals definitely understand the credit card industry and its fee structure.

P.O. Box 2100
State University, AR 72467-2100
To Whom It May Concern:
The purpose of this letter is to address our experience in working with PE Systems. When we first learned of the services offered by PE System, I have to admit, we were not completely convinced that it would be a value to add to our organization. We had a contract with the credit card companies through our local banking provider and assumed we were getting the best rates possible.
After continued discussion with PE Systems, we agreed to allow them to give our accounts a review and see if there was room for improvement. After seeing the results of that review, it became apparent that there were other factors to consider in addition to the “rate” that determine what we pay in fees.
The time required for us has been minimal and the experts at PE Systems have done a tremendous job at addressing and working with the issues that were costing us money. Working with PE Systems has been very beneficial to our university and I would recommend their services to anyone in saving money on their credit card fees.
Sincerely,
Ed Kremers
Associate Vice Chancellor

Central Washington University
Central Washington University
400 E. 8th Avenue
Ellensburg, WA 98926-7471
Dear Sir or Madam:
Central Washington University contracted with PE Systems in January of 2002, to review our credit/debit card payment processes and to make recommendations for cost savings. PES reviewed our receipting processes, our contracted agreements, and fee structures. They educated our staff in the most efficient way to process transactions, assisted in the renegotiations of our service contracts fees, and recommended changes in business practices.
Alan and Tom have been a pleasure to work with. They are experts in the workings of the electronic payment world of banking. They were flexible and quick in their follow up activities. They went beyond what was expected in terms of service and advice. Their reimbursement plan makes for a no lose situation for their clients. Staff time required for their review was minimal.
I highly recommend PE Systems to any business that desires an outside review of their payment processes and wants potential cost savings.
Sincerely,
Joseph M. Antonich
Director of Financial Services

Clatsop Community College
1653 Jerome Avenue
Astoria, OR 97103-3698
To Whom It May Concern:
For years we suspected that we were being overcharged by our credit card processor. However, no one here had the time or knowledge to get at the details behind our monthly processor charges. PE Systems Inc. stepped in and found the information for us. They then negotiated with our processor to get us the lowest rates possible. Additionally, they got the credit card processor to refund some of the overcharges.
Not only did PE Systems find that we were being overcharged, they pointed out very simple changes that we could do, that would keep us at the lower rates.
I strongly recommend the services of PE Systems Inc. if you wish to be assured that you are receiving the best credit card processing rates possible for your business.
Sincerely,
Not only did PE Systems find that we were being overcharged, they pointed out very simple changes that we could do, that would keep us at the lower rates.
Colby College
4120 Mayflower Hill
Waterville, ME 04901
To Whom It May Concern:
When PE Systems approached Colby College regarding their savings program, we could see right away that this would be a good decision. In the higher education industry, we are constantly being asked to do more with less, and it made sense to look into the fees that we were paying to accept credit cards. We signed with PE Systems and they promised to come back to us within a few weeks with the results of their findings.
When they presented the results of their analysis, we were very pleased that we had made the decision to partner with them. They found savings for us, but even better than that they educated us as to changes in our processes to maintain these savings. The credit card industry is extremely convoluted and it just doesn’t make sense for us to spend the time trying to decipher the constantly changing rules and regulations, while at the same time paying higher fees. PE Systems has been the solution for us. They do the work and we know that we are no longer losing money when it comes to our credit card processing fees.
I highly recommend this service to anyone who wishes to ensure that they are not overspending on their credit card processing.
Sincerely,
Controller

Duke University
Treasury Operations
324 Blackwell Street, Suite 1000
Durham, NC 27701
To Whom It May Concern:
Duke University has had significant growth over the last several years in the volume of credit card activity used to conduct business. Our division, Treasury and Cash Management, has had limited ability to monitor costs/activity and provide meaningful information for management related to credit card activity and costs.
Duke contracted with PE Systems to assist us in evaluating our existing credit card program. In early 2004, Duke went through an RFP process and chose a new credit card processor. PE Systems was instrumental in assisting us in evaluating the proposals, interviewing the candidates and negotiating the lowest possible pricing.
On an ongoing basis, PE Systems monitors our credit card activity, identifies any possible pricing issues and works with us and our processor to correct these issues. The team at PE Services is reliable, efficient and easy to work with. They truly function as a partner with Duke University. We are pleased with the level of service provided and would recommend them to others in higher education.
Sincerely,
They truly function as a partner with Duke University.
Edmonds Community College
Edmonds Community College
20000 68th Avenue West
Lynwood, WA 98036–5999
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter to convey the experience we have had working with PE Systems in Spokane, WA. We contracted with PES to look into the amount and types of fees we were paying our bank in order to accept credit cards from our students. We had very little credit card processing expertise and truly thought our banking contract was availing us of the lowest possible rates until we talked to PES representatives. We learned we needed to look at the detail of our processing fees and not having adequate staff time or knowledge to take on the project we decided to ask PES to perform these services for us. It turned out to be a great decision!
PS Systems has always met and exceeded our expectations. The professionals at PE Systems have efficiently and effectively analyzed all of our banking processes with regards to our credit card processing with minimal time and effort on our part. The have truly shared our goal in getting us to the lowest total cost to accept credit cards, and have put in the tie and effort in order to achieve this goal for us initially and continually throughout our two year association. We do appreciate the fact that they respect how busy we are and their total service always reflects this understanding. They are more of an addition to our staff and resource pool than anything else.
I would like to highly recommend PE Systems to any organization that would like to painlessly and effortlessly save money on the fees they pay to banking institutions to accept credit cards.
Sincerely,
Barbara J. Counsellor
Accounting Manager

Grand Rapids Community College
143 Bostwick Avenue NE
Grand Rapids, MI 49503-3295
Dear Mr. Parrish:
I wanted to take a moment to thank you and PE Systems for your assistance in helping Grand Rapids Community College understand, manage and reduce the cost of accepting credit cards!
Today’s college and university business officers have a myriad of responsibilities and requirements. Because of the complexity of credit card processing and fees, it is a difficult skill for us to master with limited time and resources. PE Systems helps the business officer interpret the monthly statements and works with them to identify cost savings. Through it all, PE Systems leaves the control in the hands of the institution so that decisions and relationships are not jeopardized.
In this time of uncertain federal and state funding for colleges and universities, it is imperative that we manage and reduce the costs of doing business wherever possible to ensure that students and their families can afford higher education and PE Systems has helped us lower credit card fees. We really appreciate your professional assistance to Grand Rapids Community College!
Sincerely,
Executive Director of Financial Services

Hillsborough Community College
P.O. Box 31127
Tampa, FL 33631-3127
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter in regard to the services offered by PE Systems Corporation in Spokane WA. Hillsborough Community college was approached by the professionals at PE Systems regarding their service that saves merchants money on the fees paid to accept credit cards. Their presentation was most informative, including testimonials from current customers.
After contacting my peers at community colleges and universities throughput the State who use the services of PE Systems, I was impressed with their comments. Not only were they pleased with the monthly savings being realized, but they appreciated the professionalism of the staff at PE Systems and the continuous follow-up to ensure maximum savings. They truly put forth great effort on behalf of their clients.
Hillsborough Community College is most pleased with the services of PE Systems. They have educated us on the processing of transactions to allow for maximum savings. PE Systems has been most diligent in recovering funds for the College. We highly recommend their services. You will not be disappointed!
Sincerely,
Hillsborough Community College
Director of Financial Services

Kellogg Community College
450 North Avenue
Battle Creek, MI 49017-3397
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter to share our experiences in working with PE Systems. We first heard of PE Systems through some of their mailings, which included references such as this, from others in a similar position as mine. After hearing of their service in more detail at a conference, I decided to give them an opportunity to serve Kellogg Community College.
From the onset of our relationship with PE Systems, I was extremely impressed with the depth of their knowledge relative to the niche that they serve. A risk-free analysis showed me how easy it would be to save my College significant dollars, as well as gave me a more thorough understanding of the industry. They uncovered the issues that were causing us to lose money and were able to negotiate a more favorable agreement with out bank and the College began saving immediately.
Since we became a PE Systems client, they have continued to diligently monitor certain transactions, changes in the structure of our modified agreement, notify us of overcharges, identify possible weaknesses in our system and even were able to obtain refunds/credits as a result of the above. Their service has not only saved us money, but we have saved valuable time and manpower. I would highly recommend any organization consult with PE Systems to see what they can do for you.
Sincerely,
Chief Financial Officer

Kent State University
PO Box 5190
Kent, OH 44242-0001
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing in regards to the relationship that Kent State University has had with PE Systems. We contracted PE Systems to review the fees that we were paying in order to accept credit cards. We appreciated the fact that because of their performance based fee structure there was absolutely no risk to us to try their service. If they didn’t provide us with actual savings, we were under no obligation to pay them at all.
We were pleasantly surprised with their findings. They were able to save our university money, and interestingly enough a lot of the issues were in areas that we would never have realized drastically affected the credit cards fees that we were paying. These days, with all of the rules and regulations, the credit card industry has become extremely intricate and complex, and it is good to know that there is a group of experts looking out solely for the merchant.
We highly recommend the service that PE Systems offers; there is truly no reason not to partner with them today.

These days, with all of the rules and regulations, the credit card industry has become extremely intricate and complex, and it is good to know that there is a group of experts looking out solely for the merchant.

Albany, OR 97321
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to share our experience with PE Systems. Linn Benton Community College contracted with PE Systems to help us manage the fees that we were paying to accept credit cards. With all of our responsibilities we deal with on a daily basis, we were not looking to add another task that would require very much of our time or effort on our part. PE Systems guaranteed that not only would they not require much of our time, but they would also do all of the work for us.
We have been extremely satisfied with our relationship with PE Systems. Though they do all the work to uncover and fix the issues, we are able to stay in control of the process and still be able to be involved in the day to day management of our fees. Their suggestions have been researched and factual and they continue to educate us on the situations that were causing us to lose money. The credit card industry is extremely complex and I am so glad to have someone keeping a watchful eye on the fees that we are paying to accept credit cards.
I am very happy to recommend PE Systems to anyone looking to save money on credit card fees.
Sincerely yours,
Accounting Specialist

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is in recommendation of PE Systems and the services that they offer. When we were first contacted by PE Systems we found the service that they provide intriguing, but we weren’t convinced that it would be a good fit for our University. Although they said, and had written into their contract that there was no cost involved if they didn’t save us money, we still were a bit hesitant. It honestly sounded too good to be true and we were concerned that there may be some hidden cost that would come back to haunt us if we chose not to use their service. In the end, because of the way their contract is written, we were confident that we were protected and we decided to move forward with their service.
The outcome of their findings delighted us. The savings that they were able to uncover for our school have been substantial and their team has been wonderful to work with. As they promised in the beginning, all decisions and control has stayed in our hands, but just as they told us, they’ve done the necessary work. We also were relieved to find that their fee is 100% based on actual savings, and they clearly document the savings recovered and why we were losing that money to begin with.
There is absolutely no reason not to sign up with PE Systems today. In this day and age, it is very nice to be working with a company that actually does everything that they say they will do.
Sincerely,
Bursar

Michigan State University
Michigan State University
412 Administration Building
East Lansing, MI 48824-1046
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is in reference to the services offered by PE Systems Corporation. PE Systems approached us with a plan to lower our overall payment (credit and debit) card fees. They offered to analyze the fees that MSU was paying to accept payment cards and then work with our processor to correct any problems. Their fee would be a portion of the realized savings. Given the high volume and diverse nature of our payment card activity, we felt this arrangement had strong potential with little risk. In retrospect, the savings would not have occurred without their efforts.
Before proceeding, however, University policy requires a competitive bid process. We could find no other companies that offered this service. PE Systems is the only company that works directly for the merchant and has no affiliations with any particular bank or processor. Their unique fee structure of getting paid only if successful reiterates this fact. In addition, at not cost to MSU, PES prepared a discovery analysis, identifying areas that could be improved, and presented the potential cost savings to MSU. We knew exactly what we were agreeing to before signing the contract.
In addition to the financial results, PE Systems personnel are very knowledgeable and always extremely tactful in dealing with our processor and our staff. They continue to monitor our fees and inform us of which areas could benefit by correcting operator errors or changing office procedures. PE Systems identifies and clearly explains the steps that MSU personnel can take in order to ensure that we are doing all we can to keep our fees to a minimum. Furthermore, PE Systems is a good resource for ongoing payment card questions and issues.
We are extremely satisfied with the relationship that we have wit h PE Systems and with their results. I highly recommend their services to anyone who is interested in lowering their payment card fees.
Sincerely,
Mary Nelson, Manager
MSU Cashier’s Office

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is in regards to Midwestern University’s experience in partnering with PE Systems Corp. In this day and age of having expenses get larger as budgets get smaller, we feel that it is our responsibility to take advantage of opportunities that have the potential of saving our University money. One such service is that offered by PE Systems. We saw right away that since there was no risk in engaging with their service, there was no reason not to give them the opportunity to save us money. We sent them the 12 month of processing statements that they requested and eagerly awaited the results.
Our banking partners were very responsive to the changes and PE Systems removed us out of the negotiations. The results that PE Systems presented us with and the changes that they have made happen for us have yielded nothing but positive results for our school. Not only have they recovered refunds and gotten us set up properly, they also have helped us with the new internet accounts that we have decided to set up, so that the problems that have caused us to lose money in the past are eliminated right from the beginning.
I am happy to recommend PE Systems and their knowledgeable staff to anyone who would like to save money in the fees that they pay to accept credit cards.

To Whom It May Concern:
I’d like to take a minute to describe our experience with PE Systems and the unique service that they provide. When we were approached by PE Systems we felt that we had a good understanding of our credit card charges and the fees that our college was paying to accept credit cards. Since the cost was based solely on savings, we decided to give PE Systems a try.
This endeavor has proven to be very beneficial. We did not realize how intricate the credit card industry was or the complexity of the charges. The experts at PE Systems have a wealth of knowledge regarding the credit card industry and of the many factors that determine how much an organization pays in fees. The education that PE Systems has provided us has been very valuable as well as the cost savings.
I would recommend the services of PE Systems to anyone that would like to save money on the fees that they are paying to accept credit cards.

The Woodlands, TX 77381-4356
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to describe the services offered by PE Systems Inc and our experience with them. North Harris Montgomery CCD was approached by a PE Systems representative in regards to their savings program. We were told that the PE Systems’ business model was to analyze the fees that we were paying to accept credit cards; to identify any issues that were causing us to loose money; and to work with our current processor to lower our fee structure. For that service PE Systems would be compensated on a percentage of the bottom-line savings for a short time. To be honest, our initial reaction was skepticism. The prospect of continued savings sounded too good to be true. We thought that they must work directly for a bank or processor and that the end goal would be to change us over to whoever they worked for.
PE Systems assured us that they would be working for us. After a no cost analysis of the potential savings, PE Systems convinced us that they were really concerned about saving money for us. I appreciate their persistence and patience, because in the end, when we agreed to sign with them, they did just exactly as they said would do – they saved us money.
I highly recommend that you give PE systems a chance to perform their service for you. They are truly the only group out there that is an advocate for the merchant.

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is in recommendation of PE Systems Corp and the service that they provide. Ottawa University contracted with PE Systems to review the fees that we were paying to accept credit cards. In this day and age of more students and tighter budgets, we at Ottawa are very proactive in finding solutions that will result in a financial benefit for our school. PE Systems is one such solution. One of the most unique aspects of their service was that if they did not uncover, as well as fix any problems in our processing structure, we owed them nothing. It almost sounded too good to be true.
Fortunately for us, this solution is very real. PE Systems identified the situations that were costing us to loose money. They educated us on the changes that we could make on our end that would save us money, and lastly they did all of the work for us to make these changes happen. Their in depth knowledge of the credit card industry has been an invaluable resource to us; they honestly provide one of the most beneficial services that we have seen. There is really no reason not to sign up with PE Systems and their team of experts today.
I highly recommend that PE Systems offers; I really believe that they are one of the few companies out there that offer a win-win service.

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is written to convey our experience with PE Systems Corporation. When we were presented with the service that PE Systems offers, we quickly realized that this would be a good idea for our school. Although we pay close attention to the fees that we pay for credit card processing, it is not feasible to devote someone on staff to the task of deciphering the complex rules and regulations associated with accepting credit card payments and to applying them to our processing environment.
By contracting with PE Systems, we have the best of both worlds. We know that we are always paying the lowest cost to accept credit cards and we don’t have to do the work to ensure this. The team at PE Systems is extremely good at their job and we appreciate the amount of time and effort they spend to save us money. The unique way that they are paid is just another way to prove that they share our goal in saving the University money.
Our experience with PE Systems has been extremely positive and I recommend their services to anyone looking to save money in processing credit cards.

To Whom It May Concern:
We are writing to share the experience that we at Palm Beach Community College have had with PE Systems Corp. We contracted with PE Systems to confirm that the fees we were paying in order to accept credit cards were at levels they should be.
As a very large and busy community college, time is a precious commodity and we were glad to find a valuable service that would handle this kind of complex task for us.
We initially provided PES with the last twelve months of our credit card processing statements and they stated that they would come back to us in 2 – 4 weeks with their results.
We have been extremely satisfied with the savings they found for us. Although we suspected certain overcharge situations, we have to admit we were shocked at the sheer volume of mistakes that had been occurring on our processors end. These were all situations that were not easily visible by looking at the information with which we were provided. It took someone who knew what they were looking for and who also had the time and the resources to drill down into the intricate details that affected the fees we were paying to help correct our billing situations.
Not only did PE systems find and correct the situations that were causing us to lose money, they also took the time to educate us so that in the future we knew exactly what to look for if there were any questions or concerns. We also greatly appreciate the work that they do every month for our organization, such as dealing with ongoing issues and monitoring the work that they have already done, to insure that everything remains acceptable. With their help we still find errors and potential overcharge situations that get corrected.
We are very satisfied with the service that we have received with PE Systems and recommend the expertise they provide to anyone who would like to save money on the fees that they pay to accept credit cards.
Sincerely,
Palm Beach Community College

Parkland College
2400 W. Bradley Avenue
Champaign, IL 61821-1899
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is in regards to the experiences that we at Parkland College have had with PE Systems. PES contacted us requesting the chance to review the fees that we pay in order to accept credit cards. I must admit I was initially skeptical. I am approached countless times a week on ways to save on all sorts of costs (banking, collection, etc). But, after some detailed discussions it became apparent we literally had nothing to lose.
Since signing on with PE Systems we have been extremely pleased, both with the monetary savings and the service level we have received. PE Systems has kept us in the loop on every aspect of the process. We have several different methods for receiving credit card payments (in person, Internet, telephone, etc.). Each one required a different method to obtain Parkland the lowest discount rates possible. It was amazing to see all the hidden costs we were paying. Costs we would have never known to avoid or how to do so. PE Systems has also been careful to respect our local banking relationships and keep those in a positive place as well.
Given more and more people use credit cards to make all kinds of purchases, I feel we took advantage of PE Systems’ services at just the right time. I highly recommend this service not only to those who would like to save money on their credit card processing, but would also like to have some insight into the intricate, complex world of credit card fees.
Sincerely,

Regent University
1000 Regent University Drive
Virginia Beach, VA 23464-9800
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is in regards to our experience with PE Systems Corporation. We contracted with PE Systems to look into the fees that we were paying to accept credit cards. When we checked their references we received positive feedback from those who had engaged them in the past. Since there was no cost to the university if they didn’t find a way to save money, we believed the review by an outside organization with experience in the credit card industry would be worthwhile and hopefully result in lower fees.
We were quite interested and honestly surprised by the information that they returned to us. PE Systems did find savings for us after a thorough review of our processing arrangements and through negotiations with our card processing bank. They also made recommendations on ways to reduce our processing costs by utilizing new technology and taking advantage of processing steps that were being overlooked. PE Systems has worked efficiently and promptly to get these issues addressed for our organization.
I have been very pleased by the service offered and the job done by PE Systems and I have no reservations in recommending their service to others.

Director of Business Services & Controller

Richard Petty Driving Experience
To Whom It May Concern:
I was contacted by PE Systems regarding their service to assist the Richard Petty Driving Experience (RPDE) in lowering its credit card processing fees. Having been approached by “cost savings” businesses in the past, I was quite reluctant of their ability to save RPDE money, but I must say that after going through the process, I have been VERY IMPRESSED with PE Systems. From dealing with Brendon Hill (Business Development) from his initial cold call, through their detailed presentation explaining how RPDE’s credit card fees worked and what PE Systems could do to reduce the fees, to the detailed and easy to follow statements showing the savings (which they also walk through for you) to ongoing professional customer support with Sheri Riley (Account Manager), the entire process has been outstanding. PE Systems has not only saved RPDE money, but they have become a partner and advisor to our company (in credit card processing setup) as we take on new ventures to grow our business.
Even before RPDE signed the contract with PE Systems we tried to do due diligence and compare their service with other entities that were offering to do the same, but we found that there were no other companies that were in the same business of working directly for us, doing all of the work, and having a fee that was completely performance based. It was very impressive to me as well that many of their current clients are REPEAT customers and are signing up yet again after their initial contract term expires. If that does not speak to the service PE Systems provides (which as a customer now 3 months in the process, I see every month), then nothing else does.
It was very impressive to me as well that many of their current clients are REPEAT customers and are signing up yet again after their initial contract term expires.
The potential savings they identified for us are indeed significant. They\'re very knowledgeable, friendly and there\'s no hint of pressure. What we decided to do from this point forward is strictly up to us.

Tuscaloosa, AL
To Whom It May Concern:
The University of Alabama contracted with P.E. Systems (PES) to analyze our credit card payment process, especially focusing on the fees that we pay to our processor. In this day of reduced funding for Universities, losing money that we could be using for added classes, teachers, or benefits to our staff doesn’t make sense. We wanted to have the convenience of credit cards available to our students and parents, without having the substantial fees to the University negatively impact all of us.
After analyzing our payment process, PES was able to find savings. These “hidden” fees were not only something we would not have found, we were completely unaware of them. In addition to the savings found, when we made the decision to upgrade our terminals, PES went above and beyond the call of duty by helping us to install and implement them. Their technical expertise was especially helpful in getting our personnel quickly up to speed on using the equipment.
PES has handled all issues quickly and efficiently from the beginning, and has saved us innumerable hours by negotiating fixes to problems with our processor. PES is a “hands on”, extremely professional, knowledgeable company. When they told us they would do something, they always followed up with action. We would have never been able to achieve the savings and accomplish the upgrades in equipment without their invaluable advice and on-campus involvement.
I highly recommend PES to anyone looking to better manage the costs of their credit card business.

To Whom It May Concern:
The University of Southern California contracted the services of PE Systems. PES was to perform an independent audit of our credit card payment processes to find areas of cost savings. PES offered a unique service that we thought was important for the university to utilize. We also valued the fact PES was independent and not affiliated with a bank or processor.
We appreciated PES’ skill and expertise and were unaware how complex credit card processing fees can be; we could not have accomplished the same task ourselves. PES found savings that no one else, including competitive RFP’s nor our bank or processor, had ever found for us. Additionally, we found their unique contract arrangement to be fair and equitable. We appreciated the fact that PES had to bring actual savings to us in order to get paid for their services. Their in-depth analysis was thorough and the recommendations were both realistic and effective. Their command of the various processing codes and fee structures involved was invaluable to us.
We would definitely consider PES’ service to be valuable to any institution who wants to reduce the fees they are paying to accept credit cards.

To Whom It May Concern:
I’d like to write on behalf of PE Systems in Spokane, WA. We contracted with PES to review the fees that our University was paying to accept credit cards. We feel that it is our responsibility to our students to take advantage of services that have the potential to produce funds for the University, instead of just raising tuition to produce additional resources. PE Systems offers such a service, and since there was no cost to us unless they produce actual savings, we saw no reason not to take advantage of what they had to offer. We sent them our statements and awaited the results.
We were extremely pleased and surprised with the results. We had no idea that there were so many different circumstances that affect the mount that we paid for each credit card that we accept. The education that they have provided us with has been just as valuable as the savings that they have produced. The team at PE Systems has been extremely professional, proficient and a pleasure to work with.
I highly recommend that if you would to save money on your credit card fees that you engage with PE Systems and their service.

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is in recommendation of the services offered by PE Systems Corporation. We at Yakima Valley Community College were approached by a PE Systems representative regarding the merchant service fees we pay to accept credit cards. At the time, we were not aware of the ability to save money on the merchant fees we were being charged. We felt that the fees we paid were a part of doing business when you chose to make credit card payments an option for your students. After listening to a presentation from PE Systems, we were intrigued by their service but we were not in a big hurry to take on yet another project.
After much assurance from PE Systems that this would not be yet another project, we did agree to sign PE Systems contract, we were in for quite a surprise. This was not another “project” that would take a lot of our time and might pay off down the road. They were true to their word. With little to no effort on our part, the results, or savings, were almost immediate. PE Systems educated us on the areas that were causing us to lose money, and then they took quick action, turning these loses into actual dollars earned, that we were able to put back into our budget.
Given the chance again, with the benefit of hindsight, I would not see this as a task that I had to make time for; I would have been excited to sign up with PE Systems right away and start saving money!
If you have any further questions you can certainly give me a call at 509-574-4651.

I am pleased to write this letter to share my experiences with the team at PE Systems. We are a large retailer with 151 stores in the Midwest and we are always looking for opportunities to reduce our costs and grow our business. The item of an independent expert to review our credit card processing statements was very interesting to us. We had just recently changed our processor and wanted to be sure that the move had been a beneficial one and that we were receiving the fee structure that we had anticipated. So, we engaged PE systems to review our statements.
The results with PE Systems have been very good. We did achieve savings that we had not anticipated. Our Account Manager at PE Systems has been very diligent in looking for those savings opportunities and has the skills to provide us with the necessary information to make the changes. She has always kept the interests of our company first and foremost, and she has been a pleasure to work with.

To Whom It May Concern:
As an investor in small to medium growth companies we are always looking for ways to add value to our portfolio companies. One service that actually surpassed my original expectations was the credit card fee audit that was performed by PE Systems. I was familiar with the transaction fees charged by the credit card companies, but had no idea of the complexity or the level of savings that was available.
PE Systems professional manner and minimally invasive investigation have helped one of our portfolio companies meaningfully increase their profitability. I value the fact that PE Systems is an independent organization, not affiliated with a bank or processor, and truly worked on the behalf of the company. Their analysis was thorough and the recommendations were both realistic and effective – taking minimal effort to implement.
The best way to uncover these senseless additional costs is to have PE Systems navigate through the process and leave our management teams to focus on the business operations. The additional value that PE Systems can create is substantial, as the elimination of these excess credit card fees has dropped directly to the bottom line.
Sincerely,
Partner

I am writing this letter with the intent of recommending the services provided by PE Systems. As a multi location grocery store, we are very conscientious of our line item expenses, and found that the opportunity of partnering with PE Systems was in our best interest to pursue. We valued the fact that there was absolutely no risk or monetary obligation that would be required of us if we chose not to move forward once they had presented their analysis. For us, the decision to allow them to examine our environment was a logical one, as well as made fiscal sense to our organization.
We were pleased to discover that their audit let us know that we were in the four percent of their client’s in which they found that our credit card processing fees were in line with what is competitive and there were not any additional issues that were causing us overpayments. We work very hard to ensure that our fees are at a minimum, but now because of the cost free audit and education provided to us by PE Systems, we can be confident that all of the practices that we have put into place are truly in our organizations best interest. We also appreciate knowing that even though the service has cost us nothing, they are still our credit card consultants and are available to us in order t ensure that our fees stay at a minimum.
I highly recommend that you allow PE Systems to perform and analysis of your credit card processing environment and find out for yourself where your organization falls in the world of processing fees.

I’m writing this concerning our experience with PE Systems Corporation. As a hotel chain with multiple locations, we were very interested in the fees that we were paying to accept credit cards, but did not have the time or the resources to really focus on the money that we were spending. A colleague of mine was interested in what PE Systems could do to help us manage these costs, and thence began our partnership with them.
I came into the picture after PE Systems had already been working on our account. The experts at PE Systems are great. They not only spend their time and resources dealing with the issues that were costing us money but also were very good at educating me as to where the savings come from and why we had been losing the money to begin with. There have been a few reporting issues and personnel changes on our side over the course of this relationship and PE Systems has handled these changes well. They continue to do the job that we need them to do for us efficiently, professionally, and are always a pleasure to work with.
I am very satisfied with my experience with PE Systems and I highly recommend them to anyone that would not only like to save money on the fees that they are paying to accept credit cards, but also to understand why they could possibly be losing money.

To Whom It May Concern:
I’d like to write on behalf of the professionals at PE Systems. The experience that we had as we moved through their process was extremely positive and educational. We were impressed with the Contract Administration team, who we were introduced to during our cost savings analysis presentation. They informed us of the cost savings opportunities their analysis uncovered and presented us with an action plan to achieve these savings. Our Contract Administrator, as well as our Account Manager, are true specialists in their respective areas. The entire process was handled expertly and did not take away from ongoing projects and our day to day business requirements.
During the course of our work with PE Systems, they analyzed competitive bids, completed an RFP, recommended a competitive vendor and facilitated a seamless processor switch. We are looking forward to our continued relationship and are comfortable with the knowledge that we have a team of professionals reviewing our processing environment every month.
We were truly pleased with our overall experience with the PE Systems staff; their professionalism, and the depth of their industry knowledge. Not only did they know what to do but also how to implement the necessary changes that make the savings a reality.
Very truly yours,

To Whom It May Concern:
As we have now been working with PE Systems since March 2007, we are certainly pleased with the services the firm has provided us.
As I have discussed with your associates it has been great to have PE Systems watching our back through the maze of pricing and all the codes involved in the pricing of our hundreds of thousands of annual credit card transactions.
We most certainly appreciate your suggestions with regard to downgraded transactions and how we can minimize this expense as well as how you have pointed out where our pricing with our merchant services provider was out of line and we were able to get it reduced.
Thanks again for all your help making AMSOIL INC. more profitable by controlling, and in fact, reducing our credit card expenses.
Sincerely yours.

To whom it may concern:
We have been working with PE Systems since this time last year and are very pleased with their services. The ability to have professionals review our existing credit card processing structure, at no cost Beronio Lumber, has been very worthwhile.
Each of the PE Systems representatives with whom we have had contact has conducted themselves in a friendly and professional manner. We appreciate their expertise and their commitment to the best interests of Beronio Lumber. We also appreciate the respect they have shown to our existing business relationships.
We are delighted to know that our account manager is constantly reviewing our account to ensure that any situation that may cause potential overcharges is handled quickly and efficiently.
We strongly recommend the professionals at PE Systems and the services which they offer.

To Whom It May Concern:
The Seattle Seahawks engaged the services of PE Systems to analyze our processing systems and make recommendations regarding saving money on the fees we had been paying. We were highly impressed with their level of industry knowledge, and their dedication to their mission of uncovering savings for their clients. They provided us with solid knowledge and their consulting proved to be very effective in our recent negotiations in connection with bank card fees, thus resulting in substantial cost savings.
We would definitely recommend them for any company looking in to the possibility of paying less for credit card processing.
Sincerely,
Karen Harrison
Controller
We were highly impressed with their level of industry knowledge, and their dedication to their mission of uncovering savings for their clients.
Our experience with their organization has been extremely beneficial and educational to our team and has resulted in positive negotiations with our credit card processor.
I was shocked to learn many of our transactions were being downgraded after we had implemented in-house systems and procedures to target the lowest fee rates.
