Wonderful posting , You've really hit the

nail on the head, I just don't understand why people quite get it.

I'm not for sure how many people I've talked to concerning this very

thing in the past , and they just don't grasp it.

I similar to you am involved with carpet and upholstry cleaning and it is

a very good thing to see fellows associated this industry with the same mentalities and positions

, Excellent post!

I think the debit card access is a good one. Similar to the HSA/FSA debit card concept. But a $5 transaction fee with a $20 maintenance fee is just downright silly. You go to home depot, buy a $10 bottle of carpet cleaner for a rental and pay $5 in fees for the transaction? People won't use it. Entrust really needs to rethink their pricing. They should remember that $5 on zero transactions is still zero. Entrust you need to think this through...you are getting interchange from the merchant at 1.3%; do you really need $5 on top of that? Someone in Entrust's product development needs a reality check.
