The platform

Where your money goes.
Shown, not summarised.

Your processor knows what every sale actually cost you. Most merchants never see it. Lombard is built on showing it — every settled transaction, every fee, every remittance, reconciled to the deposit that hits your account.

Everything below is the product, rendered with sample data. Settlement data is published the business day after it settles, and can take up to three days for your processor to finalise fees.

The part nobody gives a small merchant

A monthly PDF tells you what processing cost. It never tells you which sales cost more than they should have, or why. The difference lives transaction by transaction — in entry modes, missing ZIP codes, and batches closed late.

The platform is built on the same settlement records your processor already keeps, so it can show your money at the only resolution where the waste is visible: each sale, with the fee actually charged on it.

Fix: collect the billing ZIP when a card is keyed. This month, keyed sales without it cost $38.10 more than they had to.

Your remittance is the amount the processor actually withheld— never an estimate, never volume × percentage.

Deadlines are the whole game — we remind you before they pass.

Disputes, without the fax machine

Most merchants meet a chargeback as a PDF, a deadline they didn't see, and money already gone. The platform turns the whole thing into an inbox: every dispute, its stage, its deadline — and a guided response you edit and approve, never one submitted for you.

  • Guided response
  • AI-drafted rebuttal
  • Evidence management
  • Deadline reminders

And the rest of it

Everything an account includes — each of these built on the same settlement records, none of them an upsell.

  • Batch-close alerts

    Closing late costs money. We flag the days it happened.

  • Debit routing visibility

    Whether PIN debit went to the cheapest available network, and what the alternative would have cost.

  • Decline analytics

    What you lost to declines, grouped by reason, with the ones worth retrying.

  • Volume health alerts

    No batches in three days, or volume down sharply against your own baseline — you hear about it.

  • Cash-flow view

    Settled volume as a trend, with next week's expected deposits.

  • Fee transparency

    Every fee on your account, itemised, with what triggered it.

  • Statements

    Monthly statement generated from the ledger, not recomputed.

  • Multi-location

    Several MIDs under one login, rolled up or separate.

See what you qualify for — and watch the numbers follow.
