A Woman, A Cupcake, A Bank And A Square: Why Credit Card Companies Are Scared Of Change

A relatively new business owned and operated by Leah Dotson, Fantasy Cupcake chose Square as it's processor when it came time to set up a transaction mechanism for accepting credit cards.And then a funny thing happened. Coincidentally or not, several banks and processors approached Leah about setting up merchant services with them instead of relying on Square.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/6FvQUqdJU6g/
