The contract does not specify an early termination fee (ETF), and since standard Elavon contracts no longer include ETFs, Burlington likely does not charge a cancellation penalty. The company also offers equipment rental options, ranging from $10 to $20 monthly.

Burlington Bank Card, as a reseller, may adjust these terms. They also offer Elavon’s payment gateway, Converge, though specific pricing details are not provided.

I knew by October 2015 I would need to switch from a large processor, partly due to needing a new terminal and partly due to fees. I searched for 4 months for a better situation, hoping for a better proposal with each contact I made. I came across Burlington’s offer and I never looked back. Not only was Dave at Burlington great to work with, but everything about Elavon and the switch to it has exceeded my expectations. When you have smooth terminal setup, timely deposits, and no hidden fees, what else can you ask for!
